The Northampton Chronicle and Echo is using liveblogging tool CoverItLive to showcase the work of its newsroom.

News editor Daniel Owens is leading the webchat, which will see readers given the chance to interact with Chronicle and Echo journalists and air their views on the stories due to appear in tomorrow's paper.

The paper has already used the CoverItLive platform to cover Northampton Saints rugby union matches and Northampton Town football fixtures.

Editor David Summers said: "Hopefully this will prove to be a way in which we can really engage with our readers and get them involved in their local paper.

"We thought it would be an ideal way of allowing readers to get in touch and find out just what goes on in the Chron newsroom every day - from covering dramatic news stories to endless arguments over whose turn it is to make the tea.

"We will be explaining what stories we are covering, why we are covering them and how we are writing them. But it will also give readers the chance to meet and learn about the characters who write the stories in their favourite local paper."
