The Oglethorpe Echo Information

The Echo is nonpartisan, editorially independent, adheres to the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics. The Echo is funded through community-based advertising, individual donors and support from the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, none of which influence news coverage or editorial decision-making. Our editorial staff is made up of senior journalism students at Grady College. We are a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization and advised by a Board of Directors and a Student Advisory Board, all made up of Oglethorpe County residents.
