Welcome to the Barnsley Independent
A fresh title, a brighter look, more stories, pictures and features: The Barnsley Independent, launched in the 19th century and re-launched in the 1970s, has been revitalised for the 21st century. We listened to what our readers and advertisers wanted to create a contemporary paper with verve and character to complement the Barnsley Chronicle, your Friday favourite. You will find news from across the district, key sports stories and a weekly puzzle to keep you on your toes. We hope you enjoy it ­ and we welcome your feedback.
