Liverpool Post Relaunches as 100-page Weekly Edition

Today  marks the beginning of a new phase in the history of Liverpool’s oldest surviving newspaper, when the Liverpool Post launches as a new 100-page weekly title promising to supply readers with the same award-winning journalism and exclusives that underpinned the success of the Liverpool Daily Post.

Mark Thomas, editor, Liverpool Post, said: “Throughout our 156 years, we have always been an innovative newspaper, adapting and changing to match the challenges of the times.

“This is the next step in that evolution and the start of an exciting new chapter.”

News coverage will remain central to the paper with greater in-depth analysis of the big stories affecting the city in politics and regeneration, industry, education, health and human interest.

An extended 24-page POST Business section will provide insight into the city region’s business community and a new 24-page weekly pull-out, POST Culture, will serve the city’s cultural agenda, filled with interviews, features, reviews and comment from the arts scene, together with full listings – and seven days of TV pages.

Sports coverage will move away from straight match reporting and player quotes and provide deeper analysis and views on the stories behind the headlines and major interviews with sports stars and legendary names from the past.

The Liverpool Post’s companion website liverpooldailypost.co.uk  is also getting a fresh new look with the paper’s top journalists keeping readers up to date with all the breaking news from the city region as it happens.

A brand new free daily email newsletter will be delivered direct to readers’ inbox every morning with links to the paper’s key breaking stories.

The Liverpool Post will be available every Thursday for £1.
