Digital editor Martin Hamer
The Lancashire Evening Post has served the Red Rose county with a wide range of content – including news, sport and entertainment – for 122 years.

The newspaper has been the bedrock of the local community throughout its history and has spearheaded countless campaigns on behalf of the people.

And it has also gone digital in a big way with www.lep.co.uk attracting a massive audience online.

Stories are put on the LEP site both day and night, and hundreds of comments are posted daily, giving people the perfect platform to have their say.

There is also the opportunity for readers to vote on the big issue of the day in our special web poll.

There is also plenty of space for you to get involved, whether it's through commenting on the major story of the day, or sending in news, pictures and videos from your own group or organisation for publication in the paper and online.

Head of Content Blaise Tapp
At the LEP we always think reader, the reader is at the centre of our world, and we like to think we are there for them when it really matters.
