Beasley Media Group has announced it is launching an online news site called “Augusta Today” in the Georgia city.
The digital news entity will focus on local news in the area and will feature known writers from the area like Ashley Brown, Austin Rhodes, and Kris Fisher.
The free publication made its debut on Wednesday.
“Free and easy – that’s the mantra,” said Steven Uhles, Editor-in-Chief of the publication. “We wanted to make sure that these stories were not blocked by a paywall and that our conversations with the community remain unfettered and unencumbered.”
The Beasley Media Group site will feature breaking local news, local sports coverage, lifestyle features, and a wide array of columns from the area writers.
“We all are extremely excited about Augusta Today and what we believe it will mean to this community,” said Kent Dunn, Vice President and Market Manager of Beasley Media Group. “We see this as a great addition to our portfolio of radio stations here in the Augusta market and a real extension of our local-first approach to engaging with the community.”
