Reach PLC
The Daily Post
North Wales Live
Colwyn Bay, England • Founded in 1855
The Daily Post is a regional daily tabloid covering local news in North Wales. Its official website is called North Wales Live.
Founded in 1855, the Daily Post was started as an edition of the Liverpool Daily Post. It was spun off as a standalone publication in 2003. The newspaper celebrated its 50,000th edition in September 2013. That same year, the Liverpool Daily Post ceased publication. Over the years, the surviving North Wales Daily Post paper's front pages have displayed stories about floods, U.S. President John F. Kennedy's assassination, the Gulf War, the sinking of the Titanic and police controversies. Former Liverpool Daily Post editor Alastari Machray told Hold the Frontpage, a U.K.-based trade publication, in a September 2013 interview he persuaded the Trinity Mirror Group (now known as Reach plc) board to separate the two newspapers. Trinity would eventually rebrand as Reach plc and launch digital websites for its publications under the Live brands.
