Last updated: April 28, 2026

Welcome to ATL Free Press (atlfreepress.com). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website, content, and services we provide. By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. Who we are

ATL Free Press is a publication of TSG Media, based in Atlanta, Georgia ("we," "us," or "our"). You can reach us at info@atlfreepress.com.

2. What we publish

The site publishes two kinds of content:

Aggregated headlines — links and short snippets pointing to news articles published elsewhere (such as CNN, 11Alive, NPR, and other third-party outlets). We do not own or control the content on those external sites.
Original editorials — short opinion and analysis pieces produced for ATL Free Press. Editorials are produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools and reviewed under our editorial standards. See our Editorial Standards page for details on how editorials are written and sourced.

3. Use of the site

You may read, link to, and share the content on this site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not:

Copy, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without written permission;
Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the site in a way that imposes an unreasonable load on our servers;
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site, its systems, or its data;
Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.

4. Intellectual property

Original editorials, the site's design, layout, logo, and trademarks are owned by TSG Media. Headlines, snippets, and links from third-party sources remain the property of their respective owners and are used here under principles of fair use for the purpose of news reporting and commentary.

5. Third-party links and content

The site contains links to third-party websites, articles, and resources. These links are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement. We do not control the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of third-party sites and are not responsible for them. Your interaction with any third-party site is governed by that site's own terms and policies.

6. Advertising

The site may display advertising provided by third-party networks, including Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. The presence of an ad on the site is not an endorsement of the advertiser, its products, or its services. For information on how advertising data is handled, please see our Privacy Policy.

7. No professional advice

The content on this site is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice, and should not be relied on as such. You should consult a qualified professional before acting on any information you read here.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content, including content sourced from third parties.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TSG Media and its operators, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, arising out of or related to your use of the site — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of these Terms or your use of the site shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless TSG Media and its operators, contractors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

11. Changes to the site or these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the site shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

These Terms are written to be readable and to follow common practice for a small news publication. They are not legal advice. For a publication that accepts advertising and publishes editorial content, we recommend having a qualified attorney review them before relying on them in a dispute.
