A key part of Southampton's history and heritage, the Daily Echo continues to attract record audiences online thanks to our team of dedicated journalists.

Last year we launched our digital subscriptions where readers can get unlimited access to our online journalism 24 hours a day starting from just £2 a month for the first two months.

Through our newly launched Capital Business Bulletin, we will also bring you trusted business news in partnership with Hampshire Chamber of Commerce.

Research compiled by Newsworks shows public trust in local news soared throughout the pandemic, with two thirds of people valuing journalism more now than before the crisis began.

Our title has been reporting on Southampton and Hampshire since 1888 through world wars, natural disasters and local tragedies.

And our trusted journalists will continue to tell the stories that matter over the upcoming weeks from reporting the latest coronavirus infection rates and figures as well as covering breaking news, courts and crime, councils, sport and non-Covid stories.

And there's plenty more exciting ideas in the pipeline, which we're excited to launch throughout 2021.
