A couple weeks ago, one of our local competitors decided to drop its paywall for a weekend.
At East Cobb News, we don’t hide our reporting behind a paywall.
We believe relevant, quality local journalism is the bedrock of our community, and it should be available to everyone, regardless of a citizen’s ability to pay.
Our readers are not charged to read or comment on anything on our website, to visit our social media channels or to subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
But to keep this local news resource free, we need your help. It takes work to provide this important service to our community.
East Cobb News is a local business that just proudly marked its 8th anniversary. In that time, we have grown tremendously, and it’s become an outlet that thousands of people rely upon every day to stay informed.
The photo above is one of our favorites from our archive, a high school football game shot at twilight—Friday Night Lights in East Cobb—taken early in our history.
East Cobb News has been at this since 2017, and we intend on staying at it for a long time to come—giving you the local news that you love, and that makes a difference in this community.
We wrote here before that we’ve been asking for reader support to help us defray some of our business costs.
With our growth has come some additional costs, and while we’re thrifty, we have bills that come due every month.
Put a better way, here’s how to think about what you can do to help us out:
For the price of a couple of cups of coffee a month, your support will help keep free, real local journalism alive.
You rely on us to stay informed and we depend on you to make our work possible.
Our donation amounts are voluntary, and what you pay is up to you. We are suggesting $6 a month on a recurring basis.
