Connect Savannah is a News, Arts & Entertainment weekly publication. Our highest priority is to produce a top-notch publication, focusing on people and events that affect Savannah and Chatham County. We want to report news accurately and without bias. We will endeavor to have content that informs, entertains and engages our readers in everything Savannah.
To that end, our readers will soon see an exciting new, attention-grabbing design. We think it will benefit our readers and advertisers. In association with the new print design, we also will expand our digital platform. Our intent is to fully explore the limits of digital coverage, benefiting both readers and advertisers.
Connect Savannah will publish with honesty, integrity, compassion and the best interest of our entire community in mind. We always will seek the truth and help find answers to difficult questions. We also remember that we are an arts and entertainment publication. We know Savannahians, and our multitude of visitors, love to dine and be entertained. Weekly articles will highlight bars, restaurants, music, arts, shopping, and the beloved history so many enjoy.
It is our hope these changes will help us improve the reach for of our advertisers and broaden our readership. Change may be scary but it can be very exciting. I don’t know about you, but I’m super excited to watch Connect grow. Please feel free to contact me at erica@connectsavannah.com to discuss any questions or concerns. I want to personally thank you for supporting us and continuing to support us. We will continue to keep you informed as our plans evolve over the next few weeks…
Cheers!

No reason to have changed the old format – which was fantastic, had local and important writers that understood the community and the importance of a funky, free weekly. So sad that this will now be a corporate entity, devoid of the good stuff.
I hope this doesn’t mean “Connect” will stop the heard-hitting editorials from Morekis. It’s
important to have some publication highlighting the pluses and minuses in this city.
We certainly don’t get it from the SMN.
Thanks for posting, Marty. All of the writers that were formerly with Connect are now gone, including Morekis.
It’s odd that the publication will be highlighting entertainment, dining, art etc. when those
very things are impacted by Covid 19. I just read where the Pinpoint Museum will be closing
and not opening until next spring.
We need an alternate venue for news that impacts this city. I’m sorry to hear that Morekis and
the staff are gone. Good luck to them.
Yet Morekis is listed among the contributors in your current edition. I lined up the masthead in the October 21-27, 2020 alongside Sep 30-Oct 6, 2020. Oh for the masthead difference first appeared in the Oct 14-20, 2020 issue. Apparently “bland” now is the order of the day. In regards to those Connect Savannah Best of Savannah awards or recognitions, when was the ballot printed to vote for these choices? Or does Connect Savannah have the equivalent of “electors” who made these selections on behalf of the rest of Savannah? Since when did a person have to subscribe to a thread? Morris Multimedia that desperate for revenue?
