Why Augusta Good News?
For 36 years, I’ve covered news in the Augusta area, writing for publications such as The Augusta Chronicle, Augusta Magazine, Columbia County Magazine and Fort Gordon’s The Signal newspaper and as managing editor of The Augusta Press.
Augusta is my hometown, and I’ve come to know Augusta and surrounding cities as an area rich with inspirational people who are doing great things. I’ve brought you those stories.
The mission of Augusta Good News is not only to focus on those people but to highlight the good things non-profits are doing, showcase the arts organizations bringing beauty into the city and feature the businesses run by local people – your neighbors. You’ll also find sports, education, community events and faith-based stories on our pages.
Augusta Good News celebrates its second anniversary on Nov. 22, 2024. It’s an award-winning publication with nine Georgia Press Association Awards in 2024 and the Greater Augusta Arts Council’s Media Award in 2024. Readers of Augusta Magazine voted me as the favorite local writer/columnist in 2024.
Augusta Good News is an independent, alternative voice in local media with no affiliation to any other news organizations. We rely on reader support and advertisers and don’t put our stories behind a paywall. If you’d like to financially support local news, go here.
