This entry is for the echo newspaper that is based in Byron Bay Australia. the website is www.echo.net.au This is my re-edit: The Byron Shire Echo is a weekly tabloid newspaper and is published in the Byron Shire, New South Wales. The Echo, as it is also known, was founded by two locals in 1986 as a result of marijuana raids by the NSW Police in the surrounding valleys. The paper claimed that the Police were acting aggressively and illegally. It was from this perceived social injustice that Nicholas Shand started the paper, and it continues to champion those causes today under publisher and co-founder David Lovejoy. Over the last 20 years it has grown steadily from an A4 layout to the present day A3 tabloid, and currently prints 22300 copies.
