Award-winning nonprofit media in the public interest, serving San Diego's inland region

 East County Magazine is your community media. Our nonprofit news coverage reflects the public’s interest, not special interests. 

Our mission is to provide in-depth news and events coverage for the inland areas in San Diego County, reflecting the broad diversity of people and issues in our region, particularly those under-represented in other media. As nonprofit media, we reflect the public interest—not special interests, with a strong commitment to covering social justice issues,  diverse and mulicultural voices, community concerns, environmental/land use issues, and nonpartisan political  stories in our region’s urban, rural, mountain and desert communities. We also celebrate our region’s attractions and rich cultural heritage, with special sections such as Visit East County, People Power, Tribal Beat, Refugee and Immigrant Voices, Arts and Music, and more.

East County Magazine also operates the East County Wildfire & Emergency Alerts, keeping people safe and informed throughout San Diego County via e-mail and alerts on X (formerly Twitter).  In addition, we produce the East County Magazine radio show on KNSJ 89.1 FM.
