Trinity Live Blogs Newsroom Merge

Web users are getting the inside track on a newsroom merger as journalists and editors live blog their experiences.

Trinity Mirror’s Merseyside titles are implementing a new merged editorial structure and have decided to keep their audiences updated on events via a live blog.

Newspapers including the Liverpool Daily Post and Liverpool Echo are taking part in the live blog, which includes links to stories as they are uploaded as well as pictures of the new editorial hub.

Journalism.co.uk reports that newsroom meetings and editorial conferences will be streamed to the live blog all this week while reporters will also be sending updates via Twitter accounts.



Accompanying the live blog on the Daily Post website is a summary of its purpose:

“It’s going to be an exciting and eventful few days as we settle into our new routines and we wanted to share this with our readers, give you the chance to ask questions, find out how we make decisions on our stories and open up the newsroom to you through this live blog.”

The two Liverpool newspapers are no strangers to the live blog and have produced a series of them using CoveritLive software for events including a murder trial and the tall ships race.
