We need your help! We have more news tips for East County issues than our budget can cover
Last year tapped our resources at East County Magazine more than any on record, with so many major news stories. This year, we’ve had requests from readers to cover lots of important local issues, but costs have soared with inflation.
We need your help to report on local news and be ready for wildfires once brush dries out after heavy winter rains. Will you please share some love for local journalists and give to support our news coverage and emergency alerts?
Please donate now to help grow our East County reporting on land use issues, city councils, school boards, supervisors' actions and more, as we reflect voices often not heard in other media. Plus assure that we can send reporters to provide on-scene reporting of wildfires or other emergencies. You can choose to support the wildfire and emergency alerts, our news reporting, or both!
We love our readers and want to cover all the news that impacts your lives. But we can’t do that without your help. Many local towns no longer have a community newspaper, so residents are clamoring for us to tell their stories.
Whether you read East County Magazine for breaking news, investigative reports, or for lighter topics such as restaurant reviews, festivals and events, book reviews and highlights of local attractions, will you please show some love this Valentine season and give from the heart to sustain our local journalism for East County?
Your donations to our 501c3 nonprofit organization are tax deductible, as well as vital to bring timely, accurate information to readers across our region. Our reach is vast—with 5-10 million hits and a quarter million visits a month! If ever reader would donate, or better yet, make a sustaining monthly donation that enables us to budget ahead, we would be able to assign our award-winning reporting team to cover many more stories and make a positive difference across our region.
Please give now to support local journalism—and have our heartfelt thanks for your generosity!
We are also seeking sponsors and underwriters for special sections on our news site. Call (619)698-7617 or email editor@eastcountymagazine.org for details.
