The Liverpool Echo is a local newspaper with a readership of around 400,000. It is the second most read newspaper in the country, after the 'Evening Standard'. Along with the Liverpool Daily Post, the Liverpool Echo is published by ‘Trinity Mirror’ on Merseyside and provides readers with local news, jobs, sport and entertainment.

The Liverpool Echo is published each weekday and is primarily Liverpool’s evening newspaper, while the Daily Post is the morning paper.  In the late 1800’s the Liverpool Echo was published as a cheaper, sister paper to the Liverpool Daily Post.

In 1904 the Liverpool Daily Post merged with the ‘Mercury’ but kept the same title and following on from this it was then re-launched in tabloid format in the 1980’s.

In 1999 ‘Trinity’ merged with ‘Mirror Group Newspapers’ to become Trinity Mirror, the largest publishers of newspapers in the country.
