Our Story

The Forsyth County News was founded in Cumming Georgia in 1908, by Joe Patterson, who sold the newspaper to Roy P. Otwell in 1927. Otwell combined the Forsyth County News with the North Georgian newspaper, and remained chief editor and owned the newspaper for 27 years. For most of its history, the Forsyth County News was a weekly paper, but in the early 1980's a second publication date was added. A complete website came online in 2009. The paper currently provides two print and one electronic issue per week to residents of Forsyth County under the leadership of Publisher Stephanie Woody and Print Editor Brian Paglia. More than just a newspaper, the Forsyth County News reaches Forsyth’s largest media audience through digital and mobile platforms, as well as through video, magazines, social media and more. With Forsyth County’s only paid circulation local newspaper, the most-visited local media website and a host of niche magazines and publications, the FCN remains committed to informing and entertaining users across north Atlanta as Forsyth County’s premier media outlet.
