The Evening Post-Echo was a British newspaper published in Hemel Hempstead and launched in 1967. This newspaper was notable for three reasons: 1. It used the then cutting-edge technology of photo-typesetting at a time when the old 'hot metal' process was the norm. 2. It was one of the few non-national newspapers to publish six days a week. 3. It was neither national nor local, but a regional newspaper covering three counties (Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire). From launch, the paper flourished and grew, attaining a circulation of over 90,000 copies per night at its peak.
