Liverpool Echo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liverpool Echo is a newspaper published by Trinity Mirror on Merseyside in England. It is published Monday to Saturday, and is Liverpool's evening newspaper while its sister paper, the Daily Post, is published in Merseyside, Cheshire, and North Wales editions, is the morning paper. The Liverpool Echo, with a readership of around 400,000 (circulation approx 138,000 copies), is the second most-widely read evening newspaper in the country, after the Evening Standard. Historically the newspaper was published by the Liverpool Daily Post & Echo Ltd.
In 1879 the Liverpool Echo was published as a cheaper sister paper to the Liverpool Daily Post. From its inception until 1917 the newspaper cost a halfpenny.
The limited company expanded internationally and in 1985 was restricted as Trinity Holdings Plc. The two original newspapers had just previously been re-launched in tabloid format, reflecting the difficult times of high unemployment and social unrest in Liverpool in the early 1980s. In 1999 Trinity merged with Mirror Group Newspapers to become Trinity Mirror, the largest stable of newspapers in the country.
