The Atlanta Tribune is a monthly news magazine published in Atlanta in the U.S. state of Georgia, focused on the African American business community of that city.[1]

History

Kermit Thomas established the Tribune in 1986, and soon turned it over to George and Patricia Lottier, who built it up, and whose relatives own the Baltimore Afro-American.[2] The paper focuses on a readership of affluent African Americans.[3][4] The paper is now owned by Real Times Media, publisher of the Michigan Chronicle, the Chicago Defender, and the Atlanta Daily World.[5]

The Rev. Darryl Gray, an alumnus of the Tribune, started the Black-oriented Provincial Monitor in Nova Scotia in 1990.[6] In 2001 Frederick D. Robinson was appointed editor.[7] The Tribune published weekly as of 2004.[8]

The Tribune celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2016.[9] A 2020 Wall Street Journal article noted that the Tribune "celebrated Coke in 2016 with a photo of 17 of the company's Black women executives," but that fewer than half of those executives remained four years later.[10]

A previous publication with the same name was the subject of an investigation for improper fundraising in 1981; however, the papers do not appear to be connected.[11]
