The Echo is a general member of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association.[5]

When it launched in the 1970s, the Echo drove a 70-year competitor out of business.[7] In 1975, the Echo won the "general excellence" award for small weeklies from the ONPA.[8][9] Award-winning journalist Alan Robertson got his start in the newspaper business at the Echo in 1978.[7]

In 1980, the paper took second place in the "Special Issue" category in the ONPA awards.[10]

Tom Henderson, a humor/opinion columnist in northern Idaho, made several references to the Echo in his column in the 2000s.[11][12][13]

The Echo's coverage has been mentioned or picked up by various neighboring news organizations.[14][15][16][17]
