Editing Lincolnshire (section)

==Media==
===Press===
The county is home to one daily newspaper, the ''[[Grimsby Telegraph]]'' which is published in the town and whose circulation area ostensibly covers North East Lincolnshire, although it reaches as far south as Louth and Alford and as west as [[Brigg]].

There are two further weekly papers which used to be published daily until 2011; the ''[[Lincolnshire Echo]]'' is published weekly from Lincoln and covers the majority of the county reaching as far north as Louth, and the ''[[Scunthorpe Telegraph]]'' which covers northern Lincolnshire. All three are ultimately owned by [[Reach plc]].

There are also a number of weekly papers serving individual towns published in the county by [[Yattendon Group#Iliffe Media|Iliffe Media]]. One of these, the ''[[Stamford Mercury]]'', claims to be Britain's oldest newspaper, although it is now a typical local weekly and no longer covers stories from the whole East Midlands as the archived copies did.

===Television===

The BBC covers the county in ''[[BBC Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)|Look North]]'' news from [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]], with input from studios in Lincoln and Grimsby. ITV provides coverage through ''[[Calendar (News)|Calendar]]'' news.

From 1959 to July 1974 [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] programmes were provided by [[Anglia Television]], based in [[Norwich]] with news offices in Grimsby.<ref>ITV 1968 – A Guide to Independent Television, Independent Television Authority, London, 1967, page 175</ref> Following a transmitter change, ITV services were provided by [[Yorkshire Television]]. This company kept open the offices in Grimsby and opened further facilities in Lincoln, although both of these closed in the mid-1990s.

South-west Lincolnshire receives [[BBC East Midlands]] and [[ITV Central]] which are broadcast from the [[Waltham transmitting station]]. Many villages just west of the [[Lincoln Cliff]] cannot get a signal from Belmont due to [[Fading|shadowing]] and instead get their TV from [[Emley Moor transmitting station]] near Huddersfield.

===Radio===
BBC local radio is provided by [[BBC Radio Lincolnshire]] and, in the north of the county, [[BBC Radio Humberside]]. Commercial local radio serving the county includes [[Greatest Hits Radio Yorkshire]], [[Heart East]], [[Hits Radio East Yorkshire & North Lincolnshire]], [[Hits Radio Lincolnshire]], [[Capital Yorkshire]] (in the north of the county) and [[Smooth East Midlands]]. The [[community radio]] stations in the county are [[Endeavour FM]] in Boston; [[TMCR 95.3]] covering [[Epworth, Lincolnshire|Epworth]] and [[Isle of Axholme]]; and LCR 103.6 in Lincoln.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://lincolnshire.org/radio-lincolnshire-find-your-local-station/ |title=Radio Lincolnshire – Find Your Local Station |date=18 February 2015 |publisher=Lincolnshire.org |access-date=5 January 2023}}</ref>
