Beginning Thursday, The News Courier experienced an interruption of its email accounts. A construction accident resulted in the cutting of a major fiber line leading to our servers and that has resulted in a multi-state email outage for thousands of businesses and individuals. As of Friday morning, IT crews were still working on repairing the damage. The outage does not affect our website or online services.

At this time, any email sent to The News Courier domain, @athensnews-couier.com, will not be received. We apologize for this inconvenience. Email sent to newscouriersoundoff@gmail.com is accessible, but for immediate assistance, please call our office at 256-232-2720.
