Jackson Electric Membership Corp. had, one month before, gotten its newsroom up and running when tropical storm Irma battered northeast Georgia, where the company is based. The storm knocked out power for half of the electrical cooperative’s 225,000 members, who were eager to know when the lights would go back on. The switch last August to a dedicated hosting platform for Jackson EMC’s online newsroom proved fortuitous.
