No other news organisation in the North-East breaks regional news as fast or as regularly as The Northern Echo, so if you want to be the first to know what's happening in that part of the world, you need look no further.

The Northern Echo also has unrivalled coverage of North-East sport, following the fortunes of Newcastle United, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Darlington and Hartlepool football clubs as well as Durham and Yorkshire cricket clubs.
