Distribution MapThe Pilbara Echo is the only independent newspaper in North West Western Australia.

Over 14,000 copies of the unique local newspaper are produced by an award winning team of locals and printed by Rural Press in Mandurah.

The Pilbara Echo is independently audited twice yearly by the Circulations Audit Bureau (CAB).
The paper is distributed each week to every home and business in the booming North West towns of Karratha and Port Hedland.
The Echo also reaches nearby towns of Dampier, Roebourne, Wickham, Point Samson and Onslow. The newspaper’s distribution stretches inland to Newman, Tom Price, Paraburdoo, Pannawonnica and as far as Nanutarra.
We are the only local paper delivered into the mining camps around the region, including the new Gap Ridge ‘super camp’ in Karratha which holds over 2,400 workers.
The Pilbara Echo has a strong focus on community spirit, local sports and events in Karratha and the surrounding towns.
