Ten years. A decade. A tenth of a century. That’s how long Now Habersham has been bringing you the stories that matter most to Northeast Georgia. Since I launched this venture in 2014, we’ve covered thousands of stories impacting you, your friends, and your neighbors. This is our home, and we’re dedicated to telling its stories with care, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to truth.
My name is Joy Purcell, and I founded Now Habersham because I believe in the power of local journalism to connect and uplift our community. In today’s rapidly changing media landscape, local news often takes a backseat to national headlines. But our stories deserve to be told—by those who live here, understand our history, and share our hopes for the future. That’s where Now Habersham comes in.
We are Now and we tell our community’s stories through local eyes, offering insights and perspectives you won’t find anywhere else. Whether it’s reporting on local government, highlighting a neighbor’s inspiring journey, or providing critical information during emergencies, our mission is to keep you informed and engaged.
But we can’t do it without you.
Your support is essential to sustaining and growing Now Habersham. By contributing, you enable us to:
- Expand our coverage to ensure every voice in our community is heard.
- Hire more reporters who share our passion for Northeast Georgia.
- Deliver the high-quality, independent journalism you deserve.
We refuse to charge for obituaries because we believe everyone deserves to have their story told.
We’ve made a conscious choice not to put our stories behind a paywall. Everyone deserves access to trustworthy, local news. That’s why we’re asking for your help. For as little as $7 a month, you can support our mission and enjoy ad-free stories for an even better experience.
Your contribution makes a direct impact, helping us keep Northeast Georgia’s stories alive and vibrant. Together, we can ensure that our community continues to have a trusted source of news that reflects our shared values and aspirations, delivered directly to you in a timely manner.
Thank you for believing in the power of local journalism. Thank you for trusting us as your local news source. I promise we will continue to work hard every day to deserve your trust and serve you and this community with integrity and dedication. With your support, we can continue to serve Northeast Georgia for years to come.
