The Marietta Daily Journal reports the news aggressively, but with candor, discretion and fairness. MDJ serves Cobb County by providing a quality local newspaper and website comprehensive enough to be the only media our readers need while exclusive enough to be essential, even to readers who choose additional news sources. The first Marietta Journal was printed in 1866 on a hand press left behind by Union Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman’s army after the city was burned. The publisher wrote that he “summoned courage” to start the paper “when Marietta was a heap of ashes and a charred mass of ruins.”
