The Atlanta Journal-Constitution now offers Unapologetically ATL, a free weekly newsletter that explores the news, trends and events shaping Black culture in the A.
Our team of writers, photographers and videographers will keep you informed every Thursday with the latest and most important news about Black topics rooted in Atlanta’s civil rights history and its standing as a cultural hotspot.
Co-hosted by AJC journalists Nedra Rhone and Ernie Suggs, Unapologetically ATL represents the extensive expertise of our staff and sources who are fully embedded in our communities.

“It’s been an honor for me to cover civil rights giants, such as C.T. Vivian, John Lewis and Coretta Scott King,” Suggs said. “The best part of my 24 years at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has been getting to know these people who were at the forefront of history. With this newsletter, I hope to continue representing this city as a strong, rich cultural bastion of Blackness.”
Whether it’s a shoutout to a Black-owned business, a piece about an injustice in your neighborhood or a music playlist curated by a member from our team, Unapologetically ATL is designed to exclusively focus on stories told with the Black perspective in mind.

“I want to feature stories I know are important to people who look like me and change things,” Rhone said. “It’s not just about the challenges and the struggles of Black life in Atlanta, but the joys and the excitement, too.”
It is our mission to celebrate and document our region’s moments, milestones and people, and Unapologetically ATL serves as a natural extension of our strong brand.
We can’t wait to connect with you. You can sign up for the newsletter here.
