About Atlanta
Our Journey Begins: 2012
Atlanta was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Atlanta and its surrounding areas. We recognized a gap in the market for a comprehensive, locally focused online platform that would keep Atlantans informed, engaged, and connected to their community. From our humble beginnings as a small team of dedicated journalists and tech enthusiasts, we've grown into a thriving media hub.
Milestones and Achievements:
- 2015: Atlanta launched its first print edition, showcasing in-depth features on local culture, business, and politics.
- 2017: We expanded our team and introduced an interactive online map, providing users with a unique way to explore Atlanta's neighborhoods.
- 2019: Atlanta celebrated its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of delivering high-quality content and becoming an indispensable resource for the city's residents and visitors alike.
- 2022: We introduced a mobile app, making it easier than ever for readers to access our content on the go.

Filling the Information Gap:
The internet, while brimming with content, often lacks in-depth, locally focused reporting. Traditional media outlets have struggled to keep up with the digital age, leaving a void for accurate, up-to-date information about Atlanta's ever-evolving landscape. Atlanta was created to fill this gap, offering a platform that goes beyond national headlines and delves into the unique stories and issues that shape our city.
