About GoAtlantaWatch

Our Journey Began in 2017

GoAtlantaWatch was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision: to provide Atlanta’s community with a reliable and unbiased source of local news and information. We recognized the need for a platform that delves deeper into the vibrant fabric of this city, filling an information gap that had long existed on the internet.

Our Mission and Core Values

Our mission is to empower Atlantans by delivering accurate, timely, and engaging content that reflects the diverse voices and experiences within our community. We strive for excellence in journalism by upholding the following core values:

  • Unbiased Reporting: We pledge to present all sides of a story, ensuring fairness and objectivity.
  • Accuracy: Our commitment is to verify facts and deliver reliable information, fostering trust with our readers.
  • Community Engagement: GoAtlantaWatch aims to be more than just a news platform; we want to engage and connect Atlantans through interactive content and reader participation.

Filling the Gap in Local News

The internet has transformed how we consume news, but there was a distinct lack of comprehensive, local coverage focused on Atlanta’s unique story. We identified an opportunity to create a digital space that goes beyond headlines, exploring the people, culture, and issues that define our city. Through in-depth articles, interviews, and community insights, GoAtlantaWatch aims to be the go-to source for Atlantans seeking an authentic connection to their city.
