Yorkshire Bylines is an online regional newspaper regulated by IMPRESS and publishing public interest journalism. It brings news and opinion pieces on politics, education, culture, health, lifestyle, and business about Yorkshire and beyond.

Yorkshire Bylines is the first publication of Bylines Network, a network of regional online citizen journalism newspapers comprising West England Bylines, Yorkshire Bylines, Sussex Bylines, Northwest Bylines, North East Bylines, Kent Bylines, East Anglia Bylines, Central Bylines, Bylines Scotland, and soon Bylines Cymru, founded in 2020 by Dr Mike Galsworthy and Peter Jukes.

Although Yorkshire Bylines is a regional publication whose content is relevant to Yorkshire residents, it brings a national and international perspective.

Led by editor-in-chief Louise Houghton, Yorkshire Bylines is formed of a team of editors and dedicated volunteers.

Yorkshire Bylines is a trading brand of Bylines Network Limited, officially established in July 2021, formalising the network's legal identity. The Byline Times and the Bylines Network are sister organisations cooperating and supporting each other but as separate organisations.

Bylines Network Gazette, a print edition containing articles from across the network, was launched in 2022. The Bylines Network app showcases all the up-to-date streams from the network's online media outlets.

The Bylines Network is funded entirely through readers' donations, subscriptions to the Gazette, and a small amount of advertising revenue on some of their websites.
