background: The York Chronicle was an influential newspaper in York, England, founded in 1772 by Christopher Etherington as an alternative to the York Courant. It began as The York Chronicle and Weekly Advertiser and went through several name changes and ownership shifts, including a period under William Blanchard after Etherington’s bankruptcy. The paper evolved in title and content through the late 18th and early 19th centuries, eventually becoming The York Chronicle and Northern Standard before being acquired by the Yorkshire Gazette proprietors in 1839, which ended its independent publication.
