Everything about Atlanta Georgian totally explained
The Atlanta Georgian was a daily afternoon newspaper in
Atlanta, Georgia. Founded by
New Jersey native,
Fred Loring Seely, the first issue was
April 25,
1906 with editor
John Temple Graves. They mainly railed against saloons and the
convict lease system and in February 1907, Seely expanded the paper by buying out the
Atlanta News. The paper was struggling when
William Randolph Hearst purchased it in the spring of 1912 (his ninth newspaper property) and it was transformed into a
yellow press making it much more successful if less respected. The paper was awarded the
Sutlive Trophy, given by the
Georgia Press Association, in 1927. By the 1930s it was the third largest paper in Atlanta with a circulation of 75,000: far behind the Journal (98,000) and the Constitution (91,000). In 1939,
James M. Cox purchased it at the same time as the
Atlanta Journal and the
Georgian was immediately closed down with its last issue being Monday
December 18,
1939. By this time the Hearst empire had shrunk to under 20 newspapers.
