Trinity said that during his stint in Liverpool Chapman has been been responsible for managing several major change projects, as well as taking the lead role for digital development.
In December the company announced the Daily Post was to become a weekly title this month with the loss of six editorial jobs.
Chapman has previously held senior roles in news, production and sports journalism and is the former editorial training and development manager for Trinity Mirror’s North West region.
