KCJ Media Group Ltd. is a locally owned multimedia company dedicated to telling the stories that matter to rural Alberta. Our team of reporters and journalists formerly worked for the ECA Review, a long-standing voice in East Central Alberta. In 2025, we acquired the ECA Review and launched The Rural Alberta Report, a fresh, digital-first publication built on the same commitment to community storytelling, with expanded coverage of local, Canadian, and world news.
Through digital journalism, photography, and community engagement, we celebrate the people, places, and progress of rural Alberta — from town council meetings to legislation that affects you. With strong local readership and trusted reporting, KCJ Media Group continues a proud tradition of independent journalism in a modern format.
