Local Press
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the city's daily newspaper, addressing issues of every nature, and publishes a weekly entertainment guide, Access Atlanta. For news and views, the AJC proves useful, but for lifestyle coverage look below.
Creative Loafing, published every Thursday, tackles more socially conscious issues with an informed, liberal eye. Features and reviews on all aspects of art, music and cuisine are equally adept. For listings of weekly entertainment there is no better source.
A handful of monthlies - Stomp and Stammer, Cover, ATL, Flyer - attempt to fill in cultural and generational gaps in music and nightlife.
Atlanta Magazine is a glossy offering a glance into cultured city living.
