History
The Express & Echo was established in 1904 as the result of a merger between the Western Echo and the Devon Evening Express, which was founded in 1864.[3]
In 1909 it contained a column titled "Womanland" which dealt with various topics including suffrage protests. It was written by Exeter's first woman councillor (in time) Edith Splatt.[4] The paper was published on green-tinted newsprint until 1930. It switched from broadsheet to tabloid format in 1979.[3] It was published daily until September 2011, when it became a weekly newspaper.[5] In 2012, Local World acquired previous owner Northcliffe Media from Daily Mail and General Trust.[6] Local World was then acquired by Trinity Mirror.
From February 2015 the paper began publishing weekly on Thursdays.
