The Northern Echo is the award-winning, campaigning, multi-edition, morning newspaper covering the North-East and North Yorkshire.

Since it was launched in 1870, it has been the voice for that proud part of the country, providing a unique blend of local, regional, national and international news, sport and features.

The Northern Echo also has unrivalled coverage of North-East sport, following the fortunes of Newcastle United, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Darlington and Hartlepool football clubs as well as Durham and Yorkshire cricket clubs.
