List of African American newspapers in Georgia
Appearance
This is a list of African-American newspapers that have been published in Georgia. It includes both current and historical newspapers. The first such newspaper in Georgia was The Colored American, founded in Augusta in 1865.[1] However, most were founded in Atlanta.
While most such newspapers in Georgia have been very short-lived, a few, such as the Savannah Tribune, Atlanta Daily World, and Atlanta Inquirer, have had extensive influence over many decades.[2]
Newspapers that are currently published are highlighted in green in the list below.
