The fine art of giving thanks can often feel like a duty instead of coming from a place of deep gratitude.
I was mindful of this as I thought about how I wanted to say thanks to all of you who have been following, supporting and getting in touch with East Cobb News in the few short months since launching.
I’ve been wanting to say thanks every so often, as we pick up new social media followers and newsletter subscribers and make person-to-person contact with people covering the community.
My message has been that there’s not been anything like this in East Cobb, an all-online, all-local, independent and daily news and information resource. I’m deeply grateful to all of you who have given us a look, a read, and your feedback in this early stage.
There’s no way to say thank you to everyone, but as East Cobb News keeps growing, I’d at least like to thank those of you who have begun following and subscribing in the last few weeks:
