HULL & EAST RIDING — The May edition of The Hull Story, Hull’s free monthly newspaper, is out now and packed with stories that matter to local people. This is a professional publication we love at Beverley Review and now widely read in Beverley, Hull and across East Riding.
Included in this issue:
- Off-field troubles mount at Hull City Ladies
- VE Day celebrations — then and now
- Local voices, culture, and community news
…and much more.
The Hull Story is led by co-editors Rick Lyon and Simon Bristow — two professional journalists with decades of experience between them. Rick is a multi-award-winning reporter and former news editor at the Hull Daily Mail. Simon is a respected court reporter and former Yorkshire Post journalist.
They’re supported by a trusted team of freelance contributors, including well-known local voices like Angus Young on politics and history, Phil Ascough on business, Russ Litten on music, Vicky Foster on arts and culture, Paul Knott on international affairs, and Sam Hawcroft covering Hull City.
This isn’t just a paper — it’s a proper, independent news outlet run by professionals who care about quality journalism and the community they serve.
At a time when local news is under threat, The Hull Story keeps it honest, accessible, and free. No paywalls, no fluff — just strong reporting and stories that reflect the people and places that make our region what it is.
