“Our reporters have been at the fire lines for many major
fires recently, such as the Chariot Fire and Shockey Fire,” said East County
Magazine editor Miriam Raftery. “As
nonprofit media, we rely on community support and it’s important to replenish
our reporting fund before peak wildfire season this fall, so that we can
provide live reporting during wildfires for our online news site, alerts, and
now, we have added live wildfire alerts on the radio, too.”
East County Magazine (www.EastCountyMagazine.org) is a
division of the nonprofit 501c3 Heartland Coalition. The online publication has
won 45 journalism awards including the 2013 Sol Price Award for Responsible
