The Liverpool Post
The Liverpool Post (formerly the Liverpool Daily Post) is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold 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 sister paper of the Liverpool Echo. It’s not to be confused with the Trinity Mirror North Wales newspaper called simply the Daily Post.
It used to be published every day except Sunday, but was published on Monday to Friday only after the last Saturday edition appeared on 31 January 2009.
On 24 November 2011 Trinity Mirror announced that the Post would become a weekly publication from the beginning of the new year, replicating a switch already made in Birmingham two years earlier with the Birmingham Post. The first issue of the Post as a weekly appeared on 19 January 2012. For the time being, though, the websites retained the liverpooldailypost.co.uk domain name.
