Trinity Mirror mobile sites enter new phase

Trinity Mirror is set to roll out the second phase of its mobile phone news service.

Thirteen m-sites were launched during the second half of 2008 and now the publisher is set to add user-generated content, a ringtones download centre and wallpapers to its service. Video may also be added in due course.

The m-sites have been promoted through Trinity Mirror's own print and web titles as it seeks to integrate them into its multimedia portfolio.

The deadline for entries is 6 March – visit How-Do.co.uk to enter.


Up to 70 journalists could lose their jobs at Trinity Mirror's Glasgow-based newspapers.
