About ATL Free Press
Last updated: April 28, 2026
Atlanta is a major American city with a thinning local news ecosystem. ATL Free Press exists to put national, global, and Atlanta news on the same page, and to add a daily editorial that asks the structural question underneath each story.
What we publish
The home page is built around three sections — US, Global, and Atlanta — each populated with current top stories drawn from established outlets including CNN, Fox News, 11Alive, FOX 5 Atlanta, and WABE. Story cards link out to the original publisher, where the reporting belongs.
Alongside the aggregated feed we publish a small number of original editorials each day. Each editorial responds to a single top story in its section, runs about 500 words, and is written from a consistent editorial posture: skeptical of concentrated power, committed to individual rights, more interested in the question underneath the day's drama than in the partisan score. The editorials close on an open question more often than on a verdict — we'd rather leave a reader with something to turn over than with a fresh certainty.
US
National news, with editorials that ask what the underlying decision teaches the next administration to do.
Global
International stories, with editorials that look for the structural question underneath the day's headline.
Atlanta
Local news from Atlanta-area outlets, with editorials grounded in the city when the story is local.
How the work is made
ATL Free Press is a small independent publication, run by a single editor working under the TSG Media banner. We are not a wire service, not a syndicate, and not a department of a larger newsroom. The aggregated headlines come from publishers' own RSS feeds and pages. The editorials are produced by an editorial pipeline that uses an AI language model to draft the prose under a defined voice and sourcing methodology. We disclose this openly because we think readers deserve to know how the work is made.
The editor reviews published editorials and may revise them after publication — to add context, sharpen a thought, correct a mistake, or append an editor's note when a reader response calls for one. Edited editorials carry a dated note indicating that they have been revised after first publication.
If you want the long version — what model is used, what it is and is not allowed to do, how corrections work — see our Editorial Standards page.
What we are not
We are not trying to be a comprehensive newspaper. We do not run breaking-news desks, we do not staff Atlanta beats, and we do not pretend the editorials substitute for original reporting — they don't. The reporting belongs to the outlets we link to. Our contribution is the curation and the editorial voice.
We are also not a partisan operation. We do not endorse candidates, we do not coordinate with campaigns or parties, and we do not accept payment to publish particular editorial positions. See our Editorial Standards for the full statement on independence.
