Jay Community News

Jay Community News is a free news and email service for the Town of Jay and surrounding communities. Its purpose is to bring us all closer together and quickly spread news, information and local commerce to its subscribers. JCN also works with towns to provide emergency “first alert” communications when needed.

As traditional media sources have vanished, JCN has stepped in to offer hyperlocal coverage through the JCN Local News Desk, which provides residents with critical information about their communities that they otherwise would likely have missed.

In addition to the email service, JCN includes a Services Directory, which lists local folks and businesses and the products or services they have to offer the community and an Event Calendar for all the local happenings.

Important – Please Read
Use of the JCN email service, website, classified ads or services directory requires that you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to our Terms of Service.
