It’s hot, and the dog days of summer are upon thus.
But at East Cobb News, this is a special time of the year.
For it was nine years ago during these months that we launched this news and information resource free of charge, with a mission of serving this community first.
No middle-managers in corporate offices, reporting to bosses in another time zone.
No cookie-cutter, formulaic stories just to get you to click, presuming that you don’t know what’s important to you.
At East Cobb News, readers come first, and always will. Our vow when we launched on July 4, 2017, was to make the news free and accessible to everyone, and to keep it that way.
Please help us keep local news free.
We’ve built a modest small business with local business advertising, but like other news outlets—including many that are much larger and older than we are—East Cobb News also relies on reader support to sustain our efforts.
We’ve been asking readers for some months now to provide voluntary financial support, and we appreciate those of you who have contributed. But we need more of you to help us as we continue our mission of giving you the local news that you love.
The past few months have been excellent traffic-wise at East Cobb News, and we’d like to increase the levels of support we get from our readers.
We’ll be telling you more stories about the first eight years of East Cobb News in the coming weeks, as we approach our 9th anniversary.
For now, please consider how much you value what y0u get from East Cobb News. Not just when you visit our website, get our newsletter or check in on our social media accounts.
But also think about the sense of community we provide every day, unlike any other entity in this community.
