Andrew Hutchinson, YEP digital editor, said: “Facebook is a great way for our readers to stay in touch with the latest news and sport delivered straight onto their news feed.

“Come and join our growing Facebook community.”

The YEP also has separate pages on Facebook to promote hyper-local news content covering west, east, south, and north Leeds.

Our Facebook landmark comes just over a month after the YEP reached a milestone on its official Twitter page.

The paper’s Twitter handle @LeedsNews, supported by the hashtag #YEPleeds, reached 100,000 followers in November.
