Charles Rollins is the publisher of Garden City Gossip, an Augusta publication covering local government, courts, schools and community life, with reporting, analysis and clearly labeled opinion.

His background spans media, business and law. Before law school, he worked with local business owners as an account executive at WJBF-TV and ran businesses of his own. He later built a legal practice in criminal defense, commercial litigation and compliance, including work as corporate general counsel.

Augusta has been home since 1997. That local connection is part of the publication’s focus: the decisions made by cities, counties, boards and agencies, and the consequences for the people who live here.

A closer look at local power

Garden City Gossip’s editorial approach starts with evidence: public records, official documents, transcripts and sources readers can examine for themselves. Its reporting and analysis look at how decisions are made, who makes them and what follows. Opinion is identified as opinion.
