The Echo is in my opinion a pale shadow of its former self. I used to love reading it. Local reporters who understood the area. Now, it's basically trash and a shell of a 'local' newspaper. Sensationa... See more

Outdated, slow, cumbersome

The website takes an age to load, it is infested with pop ups and ads. When I am reading a story, it suddenly jumps to another part of the page because some useless image or ad has popped up. They really need to hire a new website designer. Most likely somebody with basic quals could dramatically improve the UX. Most people want to get to the information with the least amount of clicks, quick loading, zero unrelated sales/ads. Simply put, we want the path of least resistance. It seems to operate like a scam style sight or AliExpress with the amount of pointless obstacles and sensory overload. It's also much worse on mobile. I just don't use it there at all.

Totally Shambolic

Totally unreadable, pop up paywalls even on articles that dont say 'premium', its a shambles of a website & has really gone downhill since leaving Liverpool.

Misleading headlines and publishing…

Misleading headlines and publishing stories that are exaggerated , not sure if they do their own research. I think this paper is just greedy to sell. Headlines are published to cause panic or false excitement.

Paywall Model is just pure Greed

It's model is just pure greed Journalism is lazy, no spell checking of articles and the paywall is just nonsense. More local news going behind its paywall the echo site is inundated with crap ads so unusable. I for one will not bother reading this crappy paper anymore. I would actually have given no stars but that is not an option

The journalism isn't great

The journalism isn't great. Most of the stories are 'here's something we did in Liverpool' or rehashing of old articles. The new subscription service is the killer. A complete ripoff for what you get. Last time I'll ever read the paper.
