Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Buford Hit by Third Earthquake In Less Than Three Days Buford experienced its third earthquake in 72 hours, with a magnitude 2.3 quake occurring on Sunday night near Lake Lanier. This follows a magnitude 2.5 quake on Thursday and a magnitude 2.1 quake early Friday. Sunday's earthquake was the shallowest, at 1.4 miles deep, near Buford Dam Road and Old Shadburn Ferry Road. The previous quakes occurred at depths of 2.5 and 5.2 miles. The U.S. Geological Survey reported 115 people felt Sunday's quake, mostly in Buford and Sugar Hill, while 163 people felt Thursday's quake, with reports from as far as Peachtree Corners. STORY 2: ARRESTED: 61-Year-Old Woman Accused of Setting Norcross Homes on Fire Hong T. Huynh, 61, was arrested by Dunwoody police on Friday for allegedly setting two homes on fire in Norcross on June 1. The fires, which occurred 20 minutes apart on Buckingham Court and Turners Ridge Drive, displaced ten people, including children, and injured one person. Huynh is currently held without bond in DeKalb County Jail. The American Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents. Authorities are seeking additional information about the fires from the public. STORY 3: Rotary Club of Duluth Car Show Set for June 15 The Rotary Club of Duluth Car Show, co-hosted with the City of Duluth Downtown Development Authority, will take place on June 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in historic downtown Duluth. The event, which is free and family-friendly, will feature a variety of cars displayed in the lot behind the Red Clay Theatre. Attendees can vote for their favorite car, with multiple trophies awarded. Proceeds will benefit Operation One Voice, a nonprofit supporting the families of fallen soldiers and police officers.

We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back. Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: Gwinnett County Police are getting a new headquarters Gwinnett County officials have approved a $5.8 million contract with Precision Planning Inc. to design and provide construction administration services for a new Gwinnett Police Department Headquarters facility. The current headquarters, built in 1977 and expanded in 1988, no longer meets the department's needs. The new facility, expected to be completed in 2026, will consolidate off-site police teams and include a parking deck. The site, located at 800 Hi Hope Road, will replace the existing headquarters and E911 facilities. Funding for the project comes from the 2023 SPLOST Program. STORY 5: Moderna Announces Good Results From Trial of Combo COVID/Flu Vaccine Moderna has announced positive results from trials of its experimental mRNA-1083 vaccine, which targets both COVID-19 and influenza. The vaccine showed promising immune responses in older adults, equal to current vaccines targeting either flu or COVID-19. While not ready for this flu season, the vaccine could provide more convenient immunization options and improve compliance. It combines components from Moderna's seasonal influenza vaccine candidate and next-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate. Safety profiles appear similar to single-virus vaccines. The potential challenge lies in encouraging vaccine-weary Americans to embrace the dual-purpose vaccine. We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  INGLES 1   STORY 6: GPA Awards: Curt Yeomans, Will Hammock Earn First-Place Awards For Daily Post The Daily Post excelled in the Georgia Press Association's 2023 Better Newspaper Contest, earning 14 awards, including five first-place honors.

Copy editor Kristen Hansen secured first place in headline writing, while the staff won for best lifestyle coverage. Sports Editor Will Hammock was honored for best sports feature. The paper also placed second for Page One and third for layout and design. Sister publications within Times-Journal, Inc. garnered a total of 91 awards. The True Citizen of Waynesboro received the Freedom of Information Award, and The Brunswick News, Valdosta Daily Times, and Newnan Times Herald claimed General Excellence awards in their respective divisions. STORY 7: Burt Jones: Economic worries will help Trump win back presidency During a speech at the Georgia Press Association's annual conference, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones forecasted that inflation would bolster support for former President Donald Trump's potential 2024 White House bid. Jones emphasized that while the 2020 election was driven by personality, the upcoming election will focus on economic issues. He pointed to rising gasoline prices and other inflation-related concerns under President Joe Biden's administration. Jones highlighted the importance of the economy in recent polling data, with 29% of respondents prioritizing it over other issues. Additionally, he commended the General Assembly for passing bills addressing private-school vouchers and reforming Georgia's Certificate of Need process for healthcare facilities. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 2     Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

In 1904, the U.S. hosted its first Olympics. It had a host of problems. But the event that was the most dangerous for athletes was the marathon.

The recent cyberattack on Canadian retailer Indigo has served as a reminder for how disruptive such invasions can be in a world so reliant on digital properties. But what happens when those attacks disrupt the operations of governments, even small ones. Emma McPhee, a reporter for Brunswick News, joins the show to discuss how a similar ransomware attack affected the city of Saint John, what can make a government vulnerable, and what we all have to be wary of when it comes to cyber security.

On this week's Georgia Today podcast, we explore the emotional toll surrounding the Brunswick trial of the three men convicted of killing Ahmaud Arbery. During the trial, says Larry Hobbs from the Brunswick News, "Marcus Arbery and Wanda Cooper-Jones were the faces of courage — to see these images of their son over and over again, to hear what the defense said about their son — this was a grueling episode for them." After the guilty verdicts in the long-awaited trial, where do Brunswick and Glynn County go from here?

Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Keith Higgins has told Glynn County Superior Court he has dropped a murder charge against Akeem Brown in the March 2018 shooting death of Corley “CJ” Proctor and murder and conspiracy charges against Brown's wife, Tiffany Brown, according to the Brunswick News. Proctor, a 22-year-old from Brantley County, was found shot to death inside his car at the end of Golden Isles Parkway. Tiffany Brown was arrested April 5 and charged with Proctor's murder. Akeem Brown was arrested 10 days later, also charged with murder. Police believe the two lured Proctor to the remote location, where he was shot dead with a .40 caliber handgun. Tiffany Brown was to be the key witness against Akeem Brown, but Higgins said she refuses to testify. “The state cannot compel her to testify against him because of the marital testimony privilege,” Higgins wrote in the motion. “There is insufficient evidence at this time to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.” The Brunswick News reported that Higgins discussed the decision with Proctor's mother and sister before filing the motion. In this episode I will be interviewing CJ mother to give us more in-depth on how her son has not received justice yet.

It's been nearly two years since crews began clearing a massive shipwreck from St. Simons Sound. Last week, the already dangerous cleanup operation got even more complex when what's left of the cargo ship caught fire. On the latest Georgia Today podcast, Host Steve Fennessy and guest Larry Hobbs, a reporter with The Brunswick News, bring us the latest on the Golden Ray cleanup effort and how it could affect the state's coastal environment.

Tucker Booth chats with Brunswick News reporter and golf analyst SavannahLeigh about navigating the challenges of being a young woman breaking into a male dominant industry. We also recap The Players Championship and make predictions for this weekend's Honda Classic.

Tuesday on Political Rewind: A year has passed since the death of Ahmaud Arbery. The 25-year-old was shot and killed in a residential neighborhood outside of Brunswick, Ga., not far from his home. Gregory and Travis McMichael, accused of his murder, claim they believed Arbery was responsible for a string of burglaries in the area. But on that day one year ago, the incident received little attention from the rest of the world. It was not until three months later, when video of Arbery's death reached the general public, that attention was drawn to the case. Arbery became one of the names serving as a rallying cry for change during nationwide protests demanding an end to racial inequity and police brutality. “This is a pattern," Marissa McCall Dodson of the Southern Center for Human Rights said. "It's something that families are dealing with all across our state and all across the country. So I just think this is the moment where we need to say, ‘This is not an outlier. We continue to see Black lives taken.'" One year later, where do we stand in seeking justice for this young man from Georgia? How has the country grown and where is more attention needed? Panelists: Dr. Andra Gillespie — Professor of Political Science and Director, James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference at Emory University Marissa McCall Dodson — Public Policy Director, Southern Center for Human Rights Larry Hobbs — Reporter, Brunswick News Tamar Hallerman — Senior Reporter, The Atlanta Journal Constitution

For most political cartoonists, Donald Trump is the gift that keeps on giving, but for one Canadian cartoonist, his work on Trump may have actually been his downfall.  You've probably seen the cartoon. It’s Trump, playing golf next to the bodies of Oscar Alberto Martínez and his 23-month-old daughter, Angie Valeria, the two migrants who died trying to cross the Rio Grande. Trump is looking down at them, standing beside a gold cart. In the cartoon, he says, “Do you mind if I play through?”  It's by cartoonist Michael de Adder. He tweeted it out. The piece went viral.  Then he was dumped by one of his main customers Brunswick News. The newspaper chain owned by New Brunswick’s powerful Irving family. De Adder never did get an answer for why his contract was terminated, but he thinks this cartoon had something to do with it.  Today on the show, we hear from Michael de Adder, and an expert on political cartoons on the legacy and current state of the medium.

It's Low Prep Friday! Going through old issues of the Brunswick News. A performance venue coming to the north end of the Island?

The newspaper industry in Atlantic Canada is far less than healthy. The largest-circulation paper, the Halifax Chronicle Herald, is more than 400 days into a crippling strike which sees most of its senior reporters and editors on the picket line while its replacement workers are plugging out disturbingly sub-par journalism. Elsewhere in the area, the rest of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador have almost almost all of their daily and weekly newspapers cinched up between two companies: Brunswick News (owned by the Irving family, who employs approximately one-in-five New Brunswickers), and TC Media. Still, there are bright spots. Atlantic Canada is seeing a significant number of start-up journalism enterprises. Might there be a light at the end of the tunnel? Jesse joins Halifax Examiner publisher and editor Tim Bousquet and University of King's College assistant professor Terra Tailleur to discuss.
