BREAKING: New Imperial Beach "Local" Newspaper
Pickup a copy at many of the same locations where the Imperial Beach Times is found.
According to the publication's managing editor, Michael Burgess, "The Eagle Times is really a Coronado Publication" and "[t]hey don’t even send a reporter to Council Meetings or the Chamber of Commerce any more".
On the paper's new website - which appears to be under construction - Burgess goes on to explain, "The new ownership of the Union Tribune no longer publishes a regular South Bay section", and that; "The last two years Imperial Beach was blessed to have a real news reporter who was on the street actually covering the news of this little town! Many of us did not realize how good we had it until AOL fired Khari Johnson, our Ace Local Reporter and Editor. AOL doesn’t care about Imperial Beach! AOL doesn’t care if the powerful folks can operate under the radar again.? Well……..WE DO CARE!"
You can pickup a copy of Imperial Beach Local News at many of the same locations where you find the Imperial Beach Times.
