East County Media

PLEASE DONATE TO SUSTAIN OUR COMMUNITY REPORTING AND WILDFIRE ALERTS!

Dear Readers,

We are the only regional publication dedicated to reporting news that matters here in East County.  Please support our mid-year fundraising drive to help us keep you safe and informed. With several major wildfires already this season, the need for a real-time, online news source in East County is clear. Funds are also needed to sustain our community news reporting, which has won 142 journalism awards.  Give now.

In just the past few weeks, community donations have enabled us to report on many important stories, including:

  • Brush fires in Campo, Jamul, Lakeside,  El Cajon and more
  • A livestock virus prompting quarantines across East County
  • A parole center proposed in La Mesa
  • Supreme Court decisions impacting student loans, affirmative action, tribal adoptions, the LGBTQ community and businesses
  • A fugitive murder suspect holding elected office in Campo
  • Efforts to reopen Loveland Reservoir
  • New laws impacting the homeless
  • Candidates running for supervisor
  • City Council meetings in Lemon Grove, El Cajon, La Mesa and Santee
  • Budget priorities in  East County cities and the County
  • Tribal members’ cross-country run for clean water
  • The MTS bus strike
  • Festivals and events, theater and restaurant reviews in East County
  • Lamar Odom opening treatment centers in Lemon Grove and El Cajon
  • Good works of local service clubs and nonprofits

Many of those were stories that we broke, as well as stories we covered in depth while other media focused on coastal and downtown issues.

We’re your community media – dedicated to telling the stories that matter here in East County! We reflect your interests—the public interests—not special interests.
