The Evening Echo is an Irish evening newspaper based in Cork. It is distributed throughout the province of Munster, although it is primarily read in its base city of Cork. In Limerick, an altered local edition of the paper is sold. The newspaper was founded as a broadsheet in 1892, and has been published in tabloid format since 1991.
The Evening Echo is owned by Thomas Crosbie Holdings, who also own the Irish Examiner. Unlike the Irish Examiner, which is a national daily, the Evening Echo's focus is on local news. Its role as the group's local newspaper was reinforced after the Irish Examiner moved from being the locally-based Cork Examiner to being a national paper.
The Evening Echo is published daily (except Sunday). According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, Ireland, the average daily circulation was down to 17,556 for the period January to June 2012. This represented a fall in circulation of 12% on a year-on-year basis.

Famous quotes containing the words evening and/or echo:
“Much we buy each market day,
More still obtain:
All, all is carried home
By slow evening train.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“I always used to suffer a great deal if I let myself get too close to reality since the definitive world of the everyday with its hard edges and harsh light did not have enough resonance to echo the demands I made upon experience. It was as if I never experienced experience as experience. Living never lived up to the expectations I had of it—the Bovary syndrome.”
—Angela Carter (1942–1992)
