With Darlington becoming the birthplace of the railways, the pioneers of the industrial revolution realised that the County Durham market town was the perfect place to launch a campaigning &ldquo;Great Daily of the North&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;For nearly a century and a half, the paper has championed its region, challenged governments, fought injustice, raised huge amounts of money for local causes, and generally made a difference. Today, the media industry is embroiled in another technological revolution, with people consuming information in a variety of ways, thanks to the internet.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The modern Northern Echo is much more than just a newspaper and now it is easier to access our information and unrivalled local journalism wherever and whenever you want it. Quality journalism costs money to produce but we have made it great value with a combination of print and online packages from just &pound;1 per week.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northern Echo has launched a metered paywall for its website. &nbsp;<br \/>\nUsers are able to access ten articles each month before being asked to register with the site.
