Express & Echo

The Express & Echo is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in the city of Exeter and more widely across eastern and Mid Devon, including the towns of Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, Honiton, Cullompton, Tiverton, Crediton, Okehampton and Dawlish.

It was founded in 1904 as the result of the merger of two earlier newspapers for the city, the Western Echo and the Devon Evening Express. For the first 25 years of its existence it appeared on green newsprint. It was a broadsheet until 1979.

It’s published by Express & Echo News & Media Ltd, part of the Daily Mail & General Trust’s regional newspaper publishing wing, Northcliffe Media. The editorial offices are in Exeter.

It was an evening title for over a century after its foundation. However, on 5 August 2011 it was announced that the Express & Echo would be switching to weekly publication in early September in view of falling circulation figures and a changing market. The last daily edition was published on Friday 2 September, with the first weekly edition going out on Thursday 8 September.
