Atlanta's gay weekly Southern
Voice will resume publishing on April 14, the Atlanta
Journal Constitution reported.
The newspaper, which operated for more
than two decades, shuttered suddenly last November along with six
other gay-related publications owned by Window Media, including the
iconic Washington Blade. Former Blade employees
launched DC
Agenda to serve the DC gay and lesbian community.
After Window Media's collapse, its
Atlanta-based assets – Southern Voice and David, a
weekly focused on Atlanta's gay nightlife – were sold to Gaydar
Magazine, LLC.
“We are looking forward to serving
the community once again and are working hard to produce a quality
publication,” publisher Matt Neumann told the paper. “The public
response has been amazing and many people are awaiting our return.”
David returned to publication on
March 10.
Neumann said initial plans call for a
10,000 print run – less than half of Southern Voice's
previous circulation of 25,000.
