Liverpool Daily Post & Echo

The Echo is remarkable. It can take anybody involved in either a global news story or historical event and before you can say ‘but, hang on…’ they’ve found a link that connects them to Liverpool. Obviously the exceptions are people who have stated they aren’t that fussed on the city/​the north. Then all connections are hurled out the window and the bastard becomes about as linked to Liverpool as Pocahontas was to Robert Mugabe.
You’ve got to love the Echo though. It’s a proper paper and everything but it always feels one hurried deadline away from publishing a story about your next door neighbour, Brenda (yes yours specifically) who can’t find the remote control or wants to know the answer to five across. It’s the most mainstream, provincial paper in Britain.
Also on some days, for reasons seemingly governed by the heavens, you’ll find stories and photos involving people known to you personally. I like those days. Makes me feel popular.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to check for my surname in the obituaries. It’s a hobby of mine.

The Post and Echo are the two local Liverpool newspapers that print on a daily basis to spread local news and sport updates across the city! They have a huge circulation and have both expanded and spread their wings online in order to increase readership and advertising revenue!
The Echo is owned my trinity mirror and is probably the more popular of the two rags, maybe even the more mainstream. However, the Daily Post is more popular in the local business world as they have a Liverpool Daily Post Business section appearing daily in their newspaper, as well as a monthly supplement which focuses on business across the city!

The Echo is the local paper serving the Liverpool area. There are other smaller local papers but this is the best of them.
The Echo is available to buy 5 days a week and there are 3 editions each day. Every day has a different special focus for example a jobs section on Thursday and Monday. There are also editions focusing on entertainment, sports and cars.
The echo has various sections which appear in each edition such as classified ads, letters, crosswords, sports, horoscopes, health, announcements and many more.
The news is focused on the local area rather than national news, unless it is something very important. It is a good paper to find out about issues in your local area which may impact on you.
The Echo is available in every newsagents you go into in the Liverpool area. The only time you would not be able to buy it is if they run out which can sometimes happen. There are also a few street vendors left who sell the echo, shouting eck-​oooooooooooooo periodically.
The Echo is a great paper but can be a little lacking in reporting national news stories.
