How We Select Our Issues
Floyd Hall
Creative Director
“We selected these areas through a process that ranked each community on civic engagement, existing news coverage, cultural demographics, and economic indicators, and we are excited about the ways in which covering these three areas will help us further understand the nature of Metro Atlanta’s communities.”
