The Guardian’s Oliver Luft reported on Wednesday that the Trinity Mirror-owned Liverpool Echo has launched a map-based news service where they are geotagging news stories and allowing for postcode-based searches.

According to the article, Trinity Mirror have plans to roll this out more widely.

Trinity Mirror also have other experiments with presenting news at more focused local levels, so it will be interesting to see how they get on.
