A new news media concept (not a fake news site) has come to York. “Our York Media is an all-digital media company that offers a platform for local businesses and organizations to share their stories and news that normally might not be covered by traditional media. Stories marked ‘Presented by’ or ‘Sponsored by’ were paid for by a business or organization to be published on this site.”
