Beyond local news, The Echo features a wealth of engaging content, including insightful political and social commentary from esteemed contributors such as Andrew P. Street, retired magistrate David Heilpern, Indigenous Professor Bob Morgan, and Margo Kingston. The late Mungo MacCallum, whose insightful political commentary was a cornerstone of the newspaper, is deeply missed.

Readers can also enjoy a lively letters to the editor section, thought-provoking articles, and Mandy Nolan’s comprehensive entertainment coverage, including the popular “Seven” section with its comprehensive gig guide. The Good Life section offers a curated selection of food, wine, and travel features, complete with local restaurant reviews, a comprehensive restaurant guide, and a directory of local services. Classifieds, real estate listings, and much more round out this comprehensive community resource.”
