The Evening Echo is an Irish evening newspaper based in Cork. It is distributed throughout the province of Munster, although it is primarily read in its base city of Cork. In Limerick, an altered local edition of the paper is sold. The newspaper was founded as a broadsheet in 1892, and has been published in tabloid format since 1991.
The Evening Echo is owned by Thomas Crosbie Holdings, who also own the Irish Examiner. Unlike the Irish Examiner, which is a national daily, the Evening Echo's focus is on local news. Its role as the group's local newspaper was reinforced after the Irish Examiner moved from being the locally-based Cork Examiner to being a national paper.
The Evening Echo is published daily (except Sunday). According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, Ireland, the average daily circulation was down to 17,556 for the period January to June 2012. This represented a fall in circulation of 12% on a year-on-year basis.

In the house made of the dark cloud, ...

With your moccasins of dark cloud, come to us.”

“As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
