After resuming monthly publication in August, the EAST COBBER magazine announced it will be publishing every other month through the end of the year.
Publisher Cynthia Rozzo, who founded the monthly community magazine in 1993, wrote in a note posted Friday that due to the fallout from COVID-19, there will be September/October and November/December issues:
“By January 2021 we hope to go back to our regular monthly print schedule. In the meantime, we’ll continue to keep the East Cobb community inspired with the usual uplifting stories by direct mailing our magazine, publishing weekly E-newsletters and sharing the latest news on our social media platforms.”
For the first time in its history, the EAST COBBER suspended publication in May. The combined June/July issue and the August issue were 24 pages, about half the number of a typical issue. Rozzo is offering print advertisers a “COVID Stimulus Special” that includes placement in her weekly e-mail newsletter.
That blast reaches more than 22,000 subscribers, while the magazine has a press run of around 40,000.
Rozzo announced in June that the EAST COBBER parade and festival, which would have marked its 25th anniversary in September, is being cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns.
