Editor's Note: Help spark ECN in 2026 with your support!

We enjoyed a quiet and restful holiday season, and hope you did too. Thanks to so many of our readers for helping make 2025 a very successful one for East Cobb News—with your readership, staying in touch, and with your financial support.

We pride ourselves on being reader-focused, and we aim to continue that pledge as 2026 gets underway.

As we have mentioned before, we’re asking for continued reader support to help us keep giving you the local news that you love.

East Cobb News has become a go-to source for all kinds of news that offers more than a glimpse of what’s happening in East Cobb—they reveal quite a bit about what makes this community tick.

Whether it’s stories featuring our original reporting, or others in our community passing along news about local events and activities, East Cobb News is focused on what’s valued the most by readers here.

It’s our stock-in-trade, and for eight-plus years we’ve been building that community trust, one story at a time.

We do this without charging readers, because we believe reliable local news should be accessible to all.

Local business advertising is how we pay most of the bills at East Cobb News, which like our competitors is a for-profit business.

These days, many news outlets, including those that are much bigger, also ask their readers for support.

But unlike some of our competitors, we don’t hide our reporting behind a paywall.

We believe high-quality local journalism is the bedrock of a healthy community.

In order to keep local news free, however, we need your help.

You rely on us to stay informed, and we depend on you to make our work possible.

As a new year is underway, we’d like to ask you to take some time and think about what East Cobb News means to you. We’ve had some great traffic and engagement during the fall and end of last year, and we’re anticipating more of the same in 2026.

At East Cobb News, nobody else does what we do, every day.

It’s our passion and our pride to give you the local news that makes a difference in this community.

Donating is secure and easy!

Our donation amounts are voluntary, and what you pay is up to you. We are suggesting $6 a month on a recurring basis. You can also donate on an annual or one-time basis.

You rely on us to stay informed and we depend on you to make our work possible.
