The South Wales Echo is a daily newspaper distributed in South Wales. It was founded in 1884 and is based in Thomson House, Cardiff city centre. It is published daily, in a tabloid form, by Media Wales Ltd (formerly Western Mail & Echo Ltd), part of the Trinity Mirror group.

Two editions are published: News Extra for morning sales and City Final for evening sales. There is also a Weekend edition published every Saturday

Amongst many others, novelist Ken Follett, science writer Brian J. Ford, cartoonist Gren Jones, journalist Sue Lawley[1] and news reader Michael Buerk, have spent part of their careers with the Echo.
