The Gambia Echo (GE) was an early Gambian newspaper published weekly. It was first published by the Gambia Echo Newspaper Syndicate in Bathurst (now Banjul ) under Egerton L. Auber. From December 1947 the newspaper was run by the publisher Lenrie Peters Senior , who worked as a journalist for it, until his death in 1968.
From 1954 to 1958, Lilian Johnson published a weekly column under the pseudonym Auntie Maria , which was aimed at children and, in addition to games and crossword puzzles, also mediated international pen pals .
Under the same name, an online news portal based in Raleigh (North Carolina, USA ) has been operated since 2006 , which has no relation to the historical newspaper.
