MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN GEORGIA
Dating back to the eighteenth century, the regional newspaper industry here is characterized by a stark divide between dominant metropolitan dailies and enduring rural weeklies. Leading the market is the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the flagship daily owned by Cox Enterprises that holds significant statewide influence. Other historical heavyweights include the Gannett-owned Augusta Chronicle, which operates as one of the oldest continuously published papers in the South, and the McClatchy-owned Macon Telegraph. The local media network also includes a deeply rooted African-American press, highlighted by the historic Atlanta Daily World, founded in 1928, and the Atlanta Voice.
