We’ve been busy at the start of another year with so much compelling and important local news, and we’ve had great traffic, engagement and new advertisers to reflect that.
But we want to take a bit of a pause as another Valentine’s Day is approaching to ask readers to think about what they value from East Cobb News.
We know how much you enjoy what you get here—we hear from our readers all the time!—but what do you really love about East Cobb News? We hope it’s enough to consider financially supporting the work we do, and that nobody else in the community is doing.
Newspapers everywhere continue to shrink—this week’s layoffs at The Washington Post in particular are truly devastating, especially when it comes to local news coverage.
And more cuts are coming at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which is now all-online.
You have responded so well to what we have done over the years at East Cobb News; now we need you to respond in an even more significant way.
I have come to you numerous times before, asking for continued reader support to help us keep giving you the local news that you love. It’s with a sense of optimism about continuing to provide solid community news coverage in East Cobb.
THAT TIME HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN NOW.
