With no ads, office or subscriptions, the Sea Coast Echo can be heard again

With only two computers and a camera, the Sea Coast Echo is still publishing (sans advertising) thanks to some help from colleagues at the Picayune Item (see its Echo story). The Echo's office is filled with a foot of mud, so the editor's dining room is filled with reporters. Ronnie Agnew, executive editor, of the Clarion-Ledger writes of the Echo: "Few landmarks are left to tell folks where they are. Without the stubborn determination of The Sea Coast Echo, no one is left to tell them who they are." Echo's editor Randy Ponder said, "We're here and I want people to know that we're staying here. We're coming back bigger and better than ever. And that's not just the newspaper. Our community will, too."
