School’s just about out and the heat’s on, and at East Cobb News, graduation is only the start of a sizzling summer of local news on our home front.
We’re thrilled to see this year’s senior class get their diplomas and move on into the adult world, and for families and kids to enjoy some down-time.
But at East Cobb News, we don’t slow down during the school break months. In fact, some of our most important stories have come during June and July.
We ask for readers to share their news, to let the community know, and that in turn helps make East Cobb News better. We’re grateful that so many of you oblige.
That’s the true value of what East Cobb News does every day, and has done every day, since we began publishing nearly nine years ago.
We got a reader tip recently about a decision by Mt. Bethel Church to cut ties with a scout troop after more than 50 years. It’s a story that has resonated with many of our readers, because we understand the impact such developments can have in a community.
As Tuesday’s primary elections approach, we’ve also put together deep coverage of the local races that matter the most to you, and to help you cast your ballots.
We’re absolutely reader focused, and those stories are examples of the many exclusives we keep bringing you, week after week, month after month, and year after year. It’s in our blood!
East Cobb News also asks for reader donations to help us to keep giving you the local news that you love.
We’ve had excellent web traffic all spring—more proof of h0w much our stories mean to the public—but we would love to have the support of more of our readers than we do.
We’ve set up a safe, secure and easy online payment system via Press Patron, which helps local independent online with basic business expenses. They share our passion for local news and want to help small local news businesses like East Cobb News make a go of a tough media environment.
