You might notice a major change with today's paper.

As we approach the three year anniversary in April, we are rolling out a new look.

We will still be the Rockdale News that our readers depend on, but we will run under the banner of The News, serving Conyers and Rockdale County. You will also notice a very special circulation offer. For a short time as we convert the News to a paid newspaper, you will only have to pay $5 for a 1 year subscription. This will insure that you have guaranteed delivery of the paper to your doorstep.

The paper is published and delivered every Saturday and features completely local news and nothing else. In its short time it has been recognized by its peers for local news coverage and awarded by the Georgia Press Association for General Excellence in its category.

But the prize we value the most is being recognized by our readers as a paper that cares about its community. We are proud to call ourselves a true community newspaper and to serve as your voice.

We are looking forward to our continued growth, continued local coverage and we thank you for accepting our approach to community newspapering.
