The Liverpool Daily Post on Tuesday offered its readers a chance to influence what will be in Wednesday's newspaper, HoldtheFrontPage.co.uk reported Tuesday.
A team at the newspaper hosted a live blog throughout the day, updating readers on breaking news stories, and welcoming them to log in to give comments or suggestions on the content or design of Wednesday's paper, as well as to ask the journalists questions.
The Daily Post, a Trinity Mirror morning title, will continue to update the live blog on its Web site, liverpooldailypost.co.uk, until Wednesday's edition goes to print.
According to Mark Thomas, Daily Post editor, “The success of the live blog during our local election coverage proved that our readers enjoy being a part of the newsgathering process, asking them questions and sharing information,” said Mark Thomas, editor of the Daily Post, according to HoldtheFrontPage. “Now, we want to take this a stage further and invite people to get involved in the production of their newspaper. Giving them the opportunity to comment via a live blog and streaming, and to actually ‘attend’ our news conference seemed the next logical step.”
