The Echo, formerly known as the Evening Echo, is an Irish morning newspaper based in Cork. It is distributed throughout the province of Munster, although it is primarily read in its base city of Cork. The newspaper was founded as a broadsheet in 1892, and has been published in tabloid format since 1991. The newspaper was part of the Thomas Crosbie Holdings group, and 'sister paper' to the group's Irish Examiner. Thomas Crosbie Holdings went into receivership in March 2013. The newspaper was acquired by Landmark Media Investments, which in turn was sold to The Irish Times in 2018. Unlike the Irish Examiner, which is now a national daily, The Echo's focus is on local news. The Echo is published daily except Sunday.
