''The Scarborough News'' is a weekly newspaper distributed in and around the Scarborough area in North Yorkshire. It was launched on 31 May 2012 as a relaunch of the former daily newspaper, the ''Scarborough Evening News'', and incorporates information from the former Saturday edition of the ''Filey & Hunmanby Mercury''. It is a 'bumper' edition (136 pages), as news for seven days that was spread over six days (including the former Saturday ''Mercury'' edition) now has to be condensed into a weekly issue. It is part of Yorkshire Regional Newspapers Ltd., which is owned by Johnston Press PLC. == History == The ''Scarborough Evening News'' was first published in 1882. At that time, the paper had a major rival in the ''Scarborough Daily Post'', which had appeared six years earlier in 1876. The rivalry between the two newspapers continued up to 1921 when the ''Evening News'' bought the ''Daily Post''. The newspaper gave a local slant on the day's news, plus a look at headlines across the United Kingdom and the world. When first published, it was one of six newspapers serving the area. Published six times a week Monday–Saturday, it served a 20-mile (30 km) radius of Scarborough, with a core radius of 12 miles (20 km). It was also available in Whitby, alongside the ''Whitby Gazette'', and in many other towns and villages in the borough of Scarborough.〔(''Scarborough Evening News'' January - July 2010 average circulation ) Audit Bureau of Circulations〕 For many years, the Saturday edition of the newspaper was titled ''The Mercury''.
