Publisher’s rollout of live news blogs continues

A regional daily has joined fellow Trinity Mirror titles by launching a daily live news blog on its website.

The Liverpool Echo has set up the homepage blog which will be updated throughout the day with news, sport, traffic and weather, along with photos of the area.

The Manchester Evening News and the North Wales Daily Post were the first Trinity Mirror titles to start trialling the homepage blogs on their websites in October, chosen because they cover very different geographical areas.

At the time, digital publishing director David Higgerson said he hoped to roll out the live blogs to other websites in the group.

The blogs are run by one or two reporters each day, who update them regularly with breaking news.
