Emma Bellamy, Bangalow
Dear Hans, may I congratulate you again on the magnificent paper you produce with your excellent team.
It is a paper to be proud of, the best in our entire nation. Keep up the brilliant work as the voice of our beautiful Shire, and stay strong, as this paper’s time is ripe; the rest of the world is becoming more and more like Byron Shire every day.
We’re winning!
The Echo, beautiful, colourful, local, environmental, and imperfect – just as people are – is a touchstone of magic for our time.
Much respect and unending gratitude.
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.
