The Georgia Voice is an LGBT-oriented bi-weekly newspaper based in Atlanta, Georgia. The paper updates online daily and produces a print edition every two weeks.[1] The newspaper debuted on March 19, 2010.[2]

History

[edit]

The paper is the result of the financial collapse of Window Media in November 2009. With the closure of Window Media, Atlanta lost its primary LGBT newspaper, Southern Voice.[2] The founder and editor of that paper got together to form a new company and paper, The Georgia Voice.[1][3] Six of the original seven staff members were former employees of Southern Voice before its closure under parent company Window Media.[citation needed]

In December 2024, the paper was acquired by Rough Draft Atlanta.[4]
