North Coast Current

North Coast Current An online community news journal based in Encinitas, Calif. The Current’s foundation includes the original Coast Dispatch.

Founded in February 2002, the North Coast Current is an online news journal dedicated to news, dialogue, arts and entertainment geared toward the North San Diego County communities of Encinitas, plus Carlsbad, Solana Beach and San Marcos. With the purchase of the Coast Dispatch’s remnants from its last publisher in 2005, the Current’s new-media approach to news and arts coverage is now merged with

seven decades of local journalism. Although the Coast Dispatch’s archives are not available to the public at this time, the Current will occasionally republish articles of historical interest. POSTING POLICY:

CITIZEN KOENIG: I write this column terribly conflicted. I’m a journalist and news site publisher who has a lot of issues with our collective early adoption of artificial intelligence, about to explain to you why I use AI for aspects of publishing the North Coast Current. It’s an adoption that comes out of opportunity and necessity, and it would be irresponsible of me not to be up front about how it’s being utilized.
