Daily broadsheet newspaper, published in Leeds, West Yorkshire, by Johnston Press, covering the whole of Yorkshire as well as parts of north Derbyshire and Lincolnshire and regarding itself as a national broadsheet, rather than a local news carrier. The Yorkshire Post masthead slogan at the time of Inquiry was "Yorkshire's National Newspaper". Peter Charlton, Editorial Director, gave evidence and told the Inquiry that he and Johnston Press remained committed to the concept of ethical self-regulation and that to his knowledge the regional press generally had never engaged in the type of behaviour alleged at the Leveson Inquiry.
