How do you sum up the YDR? We took a whack at it, but go to our Wikipedia page for more


The York Daily Record newsroom produces a newspaper seven days a week, but that’s only a piece – albeit an important piece – of what we do.

Buffy Andrews, our social media editor, asked me to sum up the York Daily Record for a questionnaire.

How do you sum up a sprawling organization that covers news about 24-7?

I took a poke at it, drawing heavily on the York Daily Record’s updated Wikipedia page.

See what you think and feel free to comment below:

The York Daily Record is a news organization that produces multi-platform news products and serves York, Pennsylvania. The print version of its publications is the York Daily Record/Sunday News, circulation 55,000 daily and 85,000 on Sundays. The newsroom operates under the mission statement: Position ourselves as the number one news and information source in and about York County. The population of York County, in southcentral Pennsylvania, is about 450,000. The YDR is a member of Digital First Media, covering about 75 MediaNews Group and Journal Register Co. news organizations. Digital first means, among other things, that the newsroom – working across platforms – creates stories, curates content and engages with readers on news as it happens.

Btw, thanks to our own Brittany Wilson for re-drafting our Wikipedia page.
