FOCUS: Charleston Currents publishes final issue

Staff reports | Charleston Currents, a weekly publication that focuses on good news about the Lowcountry, is publishing its final issue today after more than 13 years and 650 weekly issues.

“It’s been a great run, but now that we also publish the Charleston City Paper, it’s time to focus efforts on continuing to improve its local news and feature story offerings,” said publisher Andy Brack. “Since purchase of the City Paper two years ago, many of the weekly sections in Charleston Currents have also been published in the the City Paper. Now it’s time to consolidate these efforts.”

For example, Brack’s weekly column is published every Friday in Statehouse Report and over the weekend in the City Paper. If you enjoy the Currents’ News Briefs section, you can find five stories every morning in the City Paper’s email newsletter of daily headlines. (Sign up for CP newsletters for free.)
