A note on our new look

PUBLISHER'S NOTE

This month’s issue of the Reporter marks an exciting new beginning for the paper and our company.

KEITH PEPPER

In early January, we updated our logos (they are called “flags” in the newspaper world) as we rebranded the company under the Rough Draft Atlanta name. We will continue to use the Reporter in print, but Rough Draft Atlanta will be the digital home and umbrella brand for us. Rough Draft gives us the ability to continue to build in new geographic and vertical markets in and around metro Atlanta, and reflects a forwardlooking brand that has proven to engage digital audiences.

It is said that journalism is the “first draft of history,” and by embracing Rough Draft as a company, we can honor this sentiment. We are committed to giving readers reliable, non-sensational local news, and providing our marketing partners with the best advertising products in the market.
