Historically the newspaper was published by the Liverpool Daily Post & Echo Ltd. The editor is Alistair Machray, who has previously edited the Welsh edition of the Daily Post. In 1879 the Liverpool Echo was published as a cheaper sister paper to the Liverpool Daily Post. From its inception until 1917 the newspaper cost a halfpenny. It is now 49p Monday to Friday and 62p on Saturday. The limited company expanded internationally and in 1985 was restructured as Trinity Holdings Plc. The two original newspapers had just previously been re-launched in tabloid format, reflecting the difficult times of high unemployment and social unrest in Liverpool in the early 1980s. In 1999 Trinity merged with Mirror Group Newspapers to become Trinity Mirror, the largest stable of newspapers in the country. In June 2007 it was announced that the Liverpool Echo had won the naming rights to the new arena in the Queen's Dock. It is now known as the Echo Arena Liverpool. |
