Liverpool Daily Post

The Liverpool Daily Post is a daily tabloid newspaper distributed in Merseyside, Lancashire and Cheshire.

It was founded in 1855 by former Liverpool Chief Constable Michael Whitty, who had campaigned for the abolition of Stamp Duty on newspapers, promising to publish a newspaper that cost just 1d once the duty was lifted. In 1904 it absorbed its older rival the Liverpool Mercury, which it had successfully undercut.

It was originally a broadsheet, but relaunched in the early 1980s as a tabloid in response to the economic hardships Liverpool was suffering at the time. The following year Liverpool Daily Post & Echo Ltd became part of a new parent company, Trinity Holdings International Ltd, which merged with Mirror Group Newspapers in 1999 to become Trinity Mirror.

It’s the morning sister paper of the Liverpool Echo. It’s not to be confused with the Trinity Mirror North Wales newspaper called simply the Daily Post.
