Ely Echo Editorial
Every week, newspapers like the Ely Echo put out a product that is a reflection of the community. That can be good news to bad news, hard news to sports news, and even human interest stories and photographs.
We’ve been doing that in Ely for over 54 years, and while the basics remain the same, much has changed. In addition to the newspaper, we have a powerful website, a presence on social media, and our latest endeavor, podcasts.
When the State American Legion Baseball Tournament was in town, we covered the event with three podcasts, released within an hour of being recorded at Veterans Memorial Field. From Apple Podcasts to Facebook and X, those podcasts were a great way to get information out fast.
But the Echo is much more than a newspaper, we’re Ely’s source for printing from posters to photographs and raffle tickets to business cards. In the summer, we print a lot of mailing labels for folks who didn’t bring a printer with them. And our large-format printer is a favorite for local contractors who need copies of blueprints and drawings.
While we have upgraded our printing and podcast equipment and the computers we use to produce the newspaper, it’s the people who make it happen and happen as fast as we can. We recently purchased a photo printing kiosk where customers can control the process starting from their phone to glossy prints coming out.
We’re so proud of what we do and we wanted to share a recent customer comment: “Lisa P. gave extraordinary customer service. She worked with me until we got everything printed exactly as I needed. Cam was helpful too and made a keychain in record time with the photo perfect. Loving Ely Echo!!!”
Thank you to our customers, subscribers, and most importantly, our advertisers - we couldn’t do it without you!
