Photojournalism at The Yorkshire Post - Ian Day FRPS
Photojournalism at The Yorkshire Post Ian Day FRPS The Yorkshire Post is a daily newspaper, based in Leeds, covering the largest county in England with a total population of 5.3 million people. It began as the Leeds Intelligencer in 1754 and was one of Britain’s first daily newspapers. Our team of six multi-award-winning photographers, are managed by Head of Audio Visual, Marisa Cashill, and are highly disciplined across all forms of photography, producing work for The Yorkshire Post and sister title The Yorkshire Evening Post. As photojournalists they record daily life across the county. During a normal shift, they could cover breaking news incidents, a rural news feature, a magazine fashion shoot, and a football match in the pouring rain. The Yorkshire Post prides itself on having extremely high standards of journalism and photography. It was recently awarded, by industry audience measurement company PAMCo, the Most Trusted Newspaper in Britain status - ahead of our national peers - and currently holds the Society of Editors’ Best Daily accolade. Over the years, our photographers have won major awards for their work at the UK Picture Editors’ Guild Awards and the Society of Editors’ Regional Press Awards, to name just two. This newspaper strives to produce quality photography which tells the story of daily life across God’s own county. Our photographers push themselves each and every day to produce some of the best photography in the country. They are the heartbeat of the newspaper.
