North Coast Current
Online/Digital
The North Coast Current, based in Encinitas and founded in 2002, is an award-winning online news journal dedicated to covering the communities of Encinitas, plus surrounding cities Carlsbad and Solana Beach. The Current also occasionally covers news and events of broader North County interest. The Current’s foundation includes the original Coast Dispatch. With the purchase of the Coast Dispatch’s remnants from its last publisher in 2005, the Current’s new-media approach to news and arts coverage is now merged with seven decades of local journalism. Although the Coast Dispatch’s archives are not available to the public at this time, the Current will occasionally republish articles of historical interest. Source
