Just returned to the Shire on Wednesday, grabbed an Echo as the first cab off the rank and put it on the table amidst other coffee-table stuff for a post-cuppa read.
Why did I not get to read it as intended at the time? Well to be honest, I didn’t notice it again until the next day because it could have been any of the miscellaneous mags and papers on the table… it just did not stand out anymore!
Ah, but on page 13… there it was, the ‘rainbow’ Echo on the reusable shopping bag ad… sensaash!
Please return the masthead to its former and deserving glory. I contend that about 90 per cent of Echo lovers would agree?


For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
