It is edited by a group of students and teachers who decide what topics should be discussed and who should be in charge of writing the articles. Lor-Echo is also in charge of publishing the yearbook. The yearbook contains photographs of all the students and articles written by students that are of interest to them. They fund it by selling advertisement to businesses in the Letterkenny area. Lor-Echo is very popular among the girls.
