Trinity Mirror’s Birmingham Post launched as a weekly newspaper today.

The weekly will be a 184-page print title concentrating on business and political news and analysis and is a result of the recent wide-ranging consultation on the future of the Post.

The paper’s new daily email service was also launched on Monday, with clickable headlines and a printable ‘E-zine’ edition that can also be downloaded to Kindle devices – believed to be a first in the regional press.

The Birmingham Post is currently edited by Marc Reeves who will be leaving the company at the end of the year. A successor is yet to be appointed.
