Direct peers

• Epworth Times: Listed as a news section on Goole Times itself and likely a sister title within Chronicle Publications Ltd. Epworth Times is a hyperlocal weekly covering the Epworth/Isle of Axholme area of North Lincolnshire, with the same print-plus-digital model and the same regional publisher.
• Goole & Howdenshire Gazette: Traditional rival hyperlocal weekly covering Goole and Howdenshire. Closely comparable in product, geography, target reader, and print+digital distribution model, competing directly for the same local advertisers and readers.
• Iliffe Family Newspapers / Iliffe Media: Independent family-owned UK regional newspaper group publishing multiple local weeklies. Comparable as a like-for-like multi-title local weekly publisher operating with similar cost structure, hyperlocal focus, and print-plus-digital model.
• Archant: UK regional publisher of local weekly newspapers and digital sites, particularly strong in East Anglia but with comparable local-weekly operating model. Useful comparable for assessing unit economics and digital transition strategy of small-town print titles.

Broad incumbents

• Hull Daily Mail: Long-established regional daily covering the broader East Yorkshire and Humber region including Goole. Comparable because it operates in the same geographic news market with overlapping coverage of local events and sports, but at a larger scale and daily cadence rather than weekly.
• Yorkshire Post: Regional newspaper covering Yorkshire, including East Riding. Comparable as a regional news brand serving overlapping audiences and competing for the same regional advertising pool, though at a much broader geographic and editorial scope.
• National World: UK regional news group (formerly JPI Media/Johnston Press) publishing titles across Yorkshire and the Humber. Comparable as a multi-title regional publisher operating in adjacent East Yorkshire geographies, with shared classifieds and display advertising dynamics.
• Reach plc: Largest UK regional publisher (Mirror, Express, Star, plus regional titles including those in Yorkshire). Comparable because it owns regional and local titles competing for the same regional advertiser budgets and serving overlapping reader audiences in the Humber region.
• Newsquest: Major UK regional newspaper group publishing hundreds of local titles including in Yorkshire. Comparable as a regional publisher serving overlapping geographies and competing for the same pool of local advertisers, though at much greater scale.

Emerging players

• Hull Live: Digital-first regional news outlet covering the Hull and East Yorkshire area. Comparable as it competes for the same local digital audiences and advertising budgets as Goole Times, but operates without a print product and with a digital-first, national-platform backbone.
