Beasley Media Group Launches Augusta Today News Site

Augusta Today

Beasley Media Group premieres Augusta Today, a new online news site. Augusta Today will focus on local news in, around, and about the Greater Augusta, GA metro area. Developed with the goal of giving people both the stories and news they they need, this hyper-local publication features Augusta-area writers such as Ashley Brown, Austin Rhodes and Kris Fisher. Augusta Today will be free and launch on Wednesday, August 28.

"Free and easy -- that's the mantra," said Editor-in-Chief Steven Uhles. "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."

Inspired by both the classic daily newspaper model and the more free-wheeling approach of alternative weeklies, Augusta Today has been developed to educate and entertain. The site will feature breaking local news, sports coverage, lifestyle features and an array of columns ranging in topic from road trips (Tee Gentry's "Blue Highways") to local politics (Austin Rhodes' "I'm Just Saying") to things done on a dare (Bryan 'Dub' Axelson's "No Prep"). Other columnists include John Patrick, Ashley 'A.B.' Brown, Allen Childers, Steven Uhles and Kris Fisher.

"We all are extremely excited about Augusta Today and what we believe it will mean to this community," said Beasley Media Group VP/Market Manager Kent Dunn. "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."
