Savannah Agenda was created in December 2019 by Eric Curl shortly after leaving his job at the Savannah Morning News, where he had worked as a reporter for 14 years. In May 2022, Eric took the plunge and left his job as a communications manager for the local transit agency in order to turn his passion project into a viable business and true community resource.

With Savannah Agenda, Eric strives to encourage engagement and raise awareness of all things local – whether that is a city council meeting, business endeavor, building development or community cause. In addition, he believes strongly in the importance of local news and community media outlets, which is why Savannah Agenda features the hard work of other Savannah journalists, writers and historians.
Every so often, Eric gets a hankering to try to make people laugh (emphasis on “try”) by posting original cartoons and satirical columns. He also posts quizzes and games in an attempt to provide an entertaining way to learn about local issues and entrepreneurs.
