The newspaper was part of the Thomas Crosbie Holdings group, and 'sister paper' to the group's Irish Examiner (formerly the Cork Examiner).[4] Thomas Crosbie Holdings went into receivership in March 2013.[5] The newspaper was acquired by Landmark Media Investments, which in turn was sold to The Irish Times in 2018.[6][7]
Unlike the Irish Examiner, which is now a national daily, The Echo's focus is on local news.[1]
The Echo is published daily except Sunday.[8]
