Canopy Atlanta’s stories center communities directly affected by civic issues.

We talked to more than 75 Bankhead and Grove Park community members to learn more about their Westside neighborhoods and paid and trained five community Fellows to report and write those stories, working alongside more experienced journalists.

Forest Park

Each Canopy Atlanta issue focuses on a different neighborhood in metro Atlanta. Last summer, we partnered with more than 120 community members of Forest Park in Clayton County to report stories that reflect their information desires.
