Within the hour, of course, it was clear that this was a very genuine, and terribly sad, story, and that one of the true icons of the pop music industry was dead. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/iEVulp1wK80/death_of_michael_jackson.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2009/06/death_of_michael_jackson.html Aintree John Lennon Michael Jackson The Beatles Twitter Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:30:29 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2009/06/death_of_michael_jackson.html In the meantime, you can follow the live blog below, which I will be tweeting to from the Far East as I'm able, along with Martyn Best from Paver Smith.

Between now and Saturday, tens of thousands of football fans will be heading for London to watch the big match at Wembley. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/w3pk2SSekk4/good_luck_to_everton.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2009/05/good_luck_to_everton.html Chelsea FC Everton FC FA Cup Final Liverpool FC ticket touts Wembley Stadium Thu, 28 May 2009 21:01:42 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2009/05/good_luck_to_everton.html I am sitting surrounded by a quite remarkable blur of activity, in our new-look newsroom, on day three of our new editorial structure. We have been producing the Liverpool Daily Post, our sister title the Liverpool Echo, and a host of weekly newspapers using a radical new system since Sunday. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/aCGWegifJC8/welcome_to_our_brave_new_edito.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2009/02/welcome_to_our_brave_new_edito.html audio blog Flickr Liverpool Daily Post Liverpool Echo multi-media newsroom video Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:00:59 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2009/02/welcome_to_our_brave_new_edito.html The big headlines in today's pre-budget statement had been so well trailed in "leaks" to the Sunday papers and the BBC that the reduction in VAT to 15% and the planned increase in income tax for high earners to 45p in the pound came as no surprise this afternoon. The VAT move will free up £12.5bn for consumers, always assuming that retailers are a bit fairer with their customers than the banking community and pass the reductions on in full. That has to be good news, both for the retail and manufacturing sectors. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/khYzkc-1wfQ/alistair_darlings_pre-budget_s.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/11/alistair_darlings_pre-budget_s.html Alistair Darling Jaguar National Insurance increase Pre-Budget Statement VAT cut Vauxhall Cars Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:53:52 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/11/alistair_darlings_pre-budget_s.html I hope many of you who use our websites have been finding their way onto the two live blogs we are running at the moment, on the world economic crisis and on the Rhys Jones trial. As regular visitors to liverpooldailypost.co.uk will know, we have been experimenting with live blogs for some months now - one of the many pioneering innovations we have brought you. Now I'd like to hear what you think about them. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/BRjrme4LEws/live_blogs_a_great_new_weapon.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/10/live_blogs_a_great_new_weapon.html La Machine live blog Liverpool Sound Paul McCartney Rhys Jones Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:50:08 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/10/live_blogs_a_great_new_weapon.html It was great, and not a little surprising, to see England perform so well in their 4-1 away win against Croatia last night. I also thought, though, that it was quite instructive to hear the way the Croatian supporters reacted as it became clear they were to lose their first ever home competitive international fixture. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/3IouO7pACjs/the_lessons_england_fans_shoul.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/09/the_lessons_england_fans_shoul.html Croatia England Fabio Capello football supporters Wembley Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:18:57 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/09/the_lessons_england_fans_shoul.html The radio airwaves and website forums of Merseyside have been buzzing with angry reaction to our announcement that we are shifting printing of the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo to Oldham. Much of the indignation stems from misunderstandings, so today we would like to set the record straight. Our newspapers will continue to be researched, written, designed and created in the heart of Liverpool, to provide the best and most in depth news coverage of Merseyside. Hundreds of people will continue to be employed by us here in Liverpool to achieve that. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/lR8biRkLYWA/our_continued_commitment_to_li.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/09/our_continued_commitment_to_li.html Liverpool Daily Post Liverpool Echo Oldham printing Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:01:28 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/09/our_continued_commitment_to_li.html I couldn't help but feel a little bit sad this afternoon, as I wondered back up Old Hall Street towards the office from the sandwich shop and saw a Superlambanana being put on a low loader ready to be towed away. The 10 week Go Superlambananas festival is drawing to a close, and over the next couple of days the 120 Superlambs are being collected up from their locations across the city. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/QD0U6lM3irw/a_farewell_to_the_superlambana.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/08/a_farewell_to_the_superlambana.html Liverpool Superlambanana Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:57:11 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/08/a_farewell_to_the_superlambana.html This is agony! I have just had a sneak preview of a secret that is going to blow everyone away next month, and I can't tell you what it is. For a journalist, this is a subtle form of torture. We want to tell people exciting and interesting things that they don't already know. It's how we make our living, but more than that, it's our passion - the buzz that drives us on. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/Ty1_rmj6UVo/why_we_cant_share_the_secret_o.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/08/why_we_cant_share_the_secret_o.html European Capital of Culture La Machine La Princess Liverpool Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:51:30 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/08/why_we_cant_share_the_secret_o.html I took a trip to Royal Birkdale last night, after being invited to the Golf Writers' Annual Dinner, and it has certainly whetted my appetite for the weekend ahead. We were entertained by speeches from Peter Allis, Europe's Ryder Cup captain Nick Faldo, and reigning Open champion Padraig Harrington - a fantastic line-up for a golf nut like me! http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/w4Wr6DGwd5U/open_golf_and_tall_ships.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/07/open_golf_and_tall_ships.html Nick Faldo Open Golf Padraig Harrington Peter Allis Royal Birkdale Tall Ships Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:50:32 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/07/open_golf_and_tall_ships.html The Liverpool Daily Post recently picked up an award for its innovative newspaper website, liverpooldailypost.co.uk We won it because we are constantly innovating, taking advantage of the latest technological breakthroughs to keep our historic brand at the forefront of the digital revolution that is sweeping the newspaper industry. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/DR7UOqQruh4/our_digital_future.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/07/our_digital_future.html live blogging Liverpool Daily Post Mark Comerford Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:52:28 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/07/our_digital_future.html China seems to have been flitting across my personal horizon quite a lot over the last week or so. We've all been moved by the coverage of the earthquake tragedy in Sichuan, with the focus on individual human stories managing to personalise so effectively the enormous, almost incomprehensible death toll. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/zU2wNYkLM4Q/china_and_what_it_means_for_li.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/05/china_and_what_it_means_for_li.html acupuncture Burma China Chinese Vistas Dr Kerry Brown earthquake European Capital of Culture Hoylake Juli Xiang Liverpool Shanghai Partnership Mandarin Professor Jonathan Spence Reith Lectures Sichuan St George's Hall Yale University Wed, 21 May 2008 14:59:31 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/05/china_and_what_it_means_for_li.html I'm on the warpath. I make no apologies. If you can't use a blog to have a damned good rant from time to time, then what's the point of having one? The target of my ire is the unbelievable, moronic idiots who managed to turn my morning dog walk today into a rather unpleasant experience. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ldpeditor/~3/9ySp0V3fWac/a_good_walk_ruined.html http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/05/a_good_walk_ruined.html common dog walk litter Moreton Wirral council Mon, 12 May 2008 13:34:50 +0000 http://www.ldpeditor.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/05/a_good_walk_ruined.html
