Trinity Mirror has announced that the Liverpool Daily Post will undergo a major restructuring. According to the paper's website they are launching a "revolutionary new editorial operating model by streamlining its production process to create a centralized hub, providing up-to-the-minute online content for its websites and writing and producing all its Merseyside daily and weekly newspaper titles."

The Post will also stop publishing its Saturday edition, making it a Monday to Friday morning paper, although its website will remain a seven-day-a-week operation.

The Post will also be following the recent trend of reducing editorial staff from 175 to 43. The focus of job cuts will be editorial managers and production journalists.

According to Sara Wilde, Trinity Mirror NW2 managing director, "To do that in the digital age, and in such difficult trading conditions, has entailed making some bold changes, which will revolutionize the way in which we produce our newspapers and websites. It is an unfortunate consequence that part of that process will see the number of required editorial roles reduce. However, we believe the changes we are introducing mean we can do that while maintaining the high-quality products our readers have come to expect."
