Coventry Telegraph launches new website featuring image archive

Screenshot of Coventry Telegraph website homepage The Coventry Telegraph has become the latest Trinity Mirror title to branch out from the ic network of regional websites with the launch of a standalone site

The launch of coventrytelegraph.net marks the next stage in Trinity's overhaul of its regional sites, which it began in June by launching sites for the Liverpool Daily Post and Liverpool Echo.

New features on the site will include increased use of video and interactive features, as well as user-generated content and will reflect those introduced on other recently launched companion sites such as the Birmingham Post.

The Coventry site, however, will focus on local history as well as news, and will host images from the paper's archive, a press release from the publisher said.

Alan Kirby, editor of the Telegraph, said the new site was 'a superb editorial and commercial opportunity'.

"Of course the new website is about breaking news and sport, but our historic picture archives are immense and offer a unique glimpse into Coventry's past," he said.

"There are thousands of pictures which we could never hope to publish in the paper. Our website gives us a fantastic new outlet."
