The Bedworth Echo was a weekly paid-for newspaper which was founded in 1979. The Echo was the only newspaper to exclusively serve Bedworth. It was further distributed to the neighbouring market town of Nuneaton, as well as Atherstone, Coventry, Hinckley, and Market Bosworth. The newspaper was co-founded by former Nuneaton Evening Tribune sports writer Mort Birch and former Nuneaton Observer sports editor Alan Robinson. It was owned by Midlands-based publishing group Coventry Newspapers Limited, a division of the Trinity Mirror Midlands group.
