A deeply unsettling and depressing day for everyone @LivEchonews and across Reach PLC. We don't know who we are going to lose, but any losses from such a talented team are a huge blow for Merseyside. Here are just a few examples of the vital journalism we produce day after day:
From Feb 2019, political editor @LiamThorpECHO with a jaw-dropping exclusive that enraged anyone with sense of justice and fairness, and crossed the desks of cabinet ministers: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/weighing-six-stone-barely-able-15762870
From January 2019, @emiliabona with a devastating exclusive on Aimee Teese, who died alone on the streets. Another story that ended up on the national agenda: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/how-bright-bubbly-young-mum-15658295
Award winning crime reporter @joe_thomas18, making sense of perhaps the most important criminal trial in decades - and its heartbreaking outcome https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/hillsborough-devastating-failure-british-justice-17346617
In the UK, our legal system is founded on the premise that justice not only needs to be done, but must be seen to be done. Crown Court reporter @LivEchoCourt is one of the best in the business at making sure that happens: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/mum-evil-killers-chilling-prediction-17495258
Here @Charl_hadfield wore out some shoe leather exploring the insidious grip of betting shops on some of the city's most vulnerable https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/spent-day-one-liverpools-gambling-17223435
Chief reporter and one of our most experienced, @LukeTraynorEcho, with an story that makes the blood boil and puts a human face on the Post Office horizon scandal https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/tragic-death-postmaster-suspected-taking-18449321
And one from myself, pieced together from the victims of a predator who operated for years under the noses of parents and colleagues - before denying them justice https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/popular-teacher-also-predatory-paedophile-17744497
