    The new website for the Evening Echo

    Also please note that as from next Monday March 4th, 2019 the Evening Echo will become a morning daily newspaper and will rebrand as the "Echo" so; it will hit the shelves bright and early every morning from the above date going forward.

    Just the word "ECHO" in short outbursts I guess
    It'll no longer be appropriate for echo vendors to shout out EVENINGGGGGGGG....EEECHOOOOOO!
    It's sad because it's the end of an era however; they must change in order to keep it alive as doing nothing would be unwise as newspaper figures have been in continual decline for many years.

    A similar change already happened with the former "Evening Herald" newspaper in Dublin a few years ago when it became a morning daily newspaper which is now referred to as "The Herald".

    There has been so much change in the newspaper industry with the advent of free online news. On top of that the sister publication of the Evening Echo: The Cork Examiner was re-branded twice and eventually became the "Irish Examiner" which meant less focus on local news when Cork was dropped from the main newspaper title. Maybe the newspaper publishers see more growth for the Echo by going on sale in the mornings to get local news out earlier in the day. It is still an uphill battle as the younger age demographic are used to free news online but there is still probably an audience who would support an Echo being published and on sale early in the mornings. Time will tell whether these changes can go some way towards arresting a drop in sales figures. I can recall huge reaction when the Evening Echo first went from being a broadsheet to it's current compact format back in the '90's.

    I'd say sale figures are way down, used to be mid 30k's back in 04/05 when i used to print it.

    He stopped shouting years ago, now it's just the echo (boom boom)

    I actually miss the old, longer chant they used to do: "EchoEveningEcho.... Echo Evening Echooooooooo"

    Replace evening with morning maybe? :)

    8559 copies circulation based on July to December 2018 figures.

    Seems to be doomed.

    Irish examiner selling approx 25000 copies a day

    Wow that poor.

    I reckon most newspapers/magazines (if not all) have significantly lower circulation figures when compared with mid-2000's. Today is such a different space when you take into account the 2008 economic crash, bank bailouts, deep prolonged recession, cutbacks, tax increases, new taxes etc;

    Media in general is undergoing massive changes as well not just locally but on a global scale.

    Hopefully the Echo & Irish Examiner newspapers can stabilise and gain new customers in the time ahead with it's updated editions following an extremely challenging time for all those who still work in the media in the last decade or so.

    And they put the examiner up by 20c with falling circulation!

    Anybody else a bit disappointed with the the 'new' Echo? It seems like a missed opportunity for a complete overhaul to create something a bit more vibrant. As it is, they seem to have replaced the masthead and that's about it.

    I have not viewed a copy of the print version of the new edition of "The Echo".

    Maybe the publisher does not wish to alienate their existing loyal readership on Day One of the switch from evening to morning.

    Sometimes these things are done in a more subtle or gradual way. Of course they will want to grow and reach out to new readers but not at the expense of losing their existing readers at the same time as there is a delicate balance to strike when rolling out significant changes of this nature.

    Only time will tell if the strategy being adopted is the right one...

    Either way, I hope it survives and grows as I know things are tough in this industry nowadays.
