The Yorker

The Yorker is a student-run company which provides campus and local news, comment and reviews, boasts thriving arts and lifestyle sections and brings you all the latest campus and professional sport. The company was conceived in 2006 by two students, journalist Daniel Ashby and computer scientist Nick Evans. Beginning as the pair's part-time project, The Yorker has blossomed into the University of York's largest student-run company. With no political or campus affiliations, The Yorker is the University of York’s only independent media outlet and this ensures our coverage comes with a unique character. The Yorker is also a private limited company so is self-sufficient and any profits made are donated to charity. The sponsored charity for 2011-2012 is The Samaritans. As the sole online media outlet on campus, The Yorker offers unrivalled 24-hour publishing and, attracting over 750,000 hits each year, we are quickly becoming the top source for media at York, with the website’s comment system encouraging students to engage in debates so The Yorker knows what is important to its audience.
