History

The Gloucestershire Echo was founded in 1873.

In 2012, Local World acquired owner Northcliffe Media from Daily Mail and General Trust.[3] The newspaper is now owned by Reach plc, publisher of the Daily Express and Daily Mirror national newspapers.[1]

Until it went weekly with its October 12 2017 issue, the Gloucestershire Echo was a six-day-a-week daily newspaper produced by Gloucestershire Media, part of Reach plc.[4]

Editor Rachael Sugden was appointed in October 2017 as the paper went weekly. She supplanted Matt Holmes, who had been in position since January 2015.[5][6]
