The East Cobber is an excellent source for advertising a business. When I opened my salon in 2009…read moreI found that I could reach my local community through the East Cobber. I started my business with basically no clients. I was not a known Hair Stylist in the area. The East Cobber was one of my major sources of advertising. After about 5 years I was informed that my advertising costs would go up 100+%. I felt I was paying a fair price for my continuous monthly ad. The costs were going to go up 100+%. Wow! That was way out of my business budget! I thanked them and moved on. It was difficult to lose my main advertising source, but I felt the extreme jump was way to much for my business to absorb. I was not given other options. Patrick Carmen @ Patrick Carmen NR.9 salon 678-427-8000.

I like the Atlanta Journal-Constitution…read more When I first got my own place in Atlanta, I subscribed to the physical paper. I soon realized I couldn't keep up with reading the physical copies and they just piled up on my doorstep and inside my condo. So, like most people, I just started reading the AJC online. When I think of the AJC, a few names that come to mind for me are Ken Sugiura (the Georgia Tech beat writer), Mark Bradley (sports columnist), John Spink and Hyosub Shin (photographers), and Alexa Lampasona (restaurants/dining). I've enjoyed their work. Rodney Ho (entertainment) and Yvonne Zusel (restaurants/dining) are a couple other names that come to mind. Some of my friends/acquaintances are friends/acquaintances with Rodney (and I'm sure other AJC staff I don't know about). I met Ken. He introduced himself to me in the McCamish Pavilion (Georgia Tech's basketball arena) media room years ago. He's a nice guy who knows his stuff. Alexa once contacted me via Yelp and then email to ask for my permission to use one of my food photos for an AJC Dining piece she was putting together. I know some of my fellow Georgia Tech fans aren't fond of Mark. Back in the day, on Tech's online message boards, some nicknamed Mark "Bark Madly." I believe it was because of a perceived bias Mark had for the University of Georgia. I've always found Mark's articles to be well-written and logical, something I always strive for in my own writing, whether it's for hobby (Yelp) or work (technical). John Spink and, to a lesser extent, Hyosub Shin are the names I recall often seeing as the photographers on interesting AJC photos. By interesting, I mean after a major event and/or news story has occurred. No matter what day or hour of day, Spink often seems like the one to capture the big moments for the AJC. I made an appearance in the AJC. It was from a kaiseki (Japanese traditional multi-course dinner) event at Nakato restaurant on Cheshire Bridge Road, with owner Sachi Nakato Takahara. Our photo was published in the April 30, 2018 edition of the AJC, page D2 (Living section). I uploaded a screenshot of that page with this Yelp review. I wouldn't have known about my appearance in the AJC if my coworker hadn't spotted me in our company's physical copy. Our company's Marietta office has a subscription to the AJC and it's available in the break room for employees and guests to read. When I used to go into the office, pre-COVID, I'd always at least scan the front page headlines. Speaking of COVID, I remember when Governor Brian Kemp directly called out the AJC at a press conference in August 2020: https://www.ajc.com/politics/politics-blog/kemp-lashes-out-after-white-house-coronavirus-report-criticizes-georgias-response/JZLGAGA57BEKTEZJNKFOJIALR4/. And speaking of the AJC getting called out, in the 2019 Oscar-nominated movie Richard Jewell, directed by Clint Eastwood, late AJC reporter Kathy Scruggs was portrayed as a journalist who slept with a source in order to obtain information. Some who knew the real Kathy said the portrayal was a complete fabrication for the movie. https://www.ajc.com/news/local/the-ballad-kathy-scruggs/Ua5vSJBTHzkQfC1Lvs6snK/ AJC.com isn't my only local news source, but it's probably my main one. Not including social media, I'll also read the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the Marietta Daily Journal, the Gwinnett Daily Post, local TV news station websites like wsbtv.com and 11alive.com, and Patch.

Hey Jezebel! I Heart YOU!…read more First of all I love that the Mag is FREE and that you can pick up an issue around town in coffee shops, boutiques and more! Or simply walk into the CORP Office and pickup one. FREE always gets my VOTE of WOOHOO! Second of all, I love that they have events around the city that are FREE from time to time! I just left one last night that was taken place in Dunwoody..yup yup FREE yet again. ;-) The look and feel of Jezebel makes you want'a read and explore what's inside that's for sure. I consider it an easy read magazine compared to most. You are updated with the latest hotness in the city and you can find out the most loved events that are partaken around the city of Atlanta. If you are an "IT" girl or "IT" guy that loves fun, high energy reads! Then Jezebel is def the MAG to pick up. Check it out..

I tend to spend a lot of lunches reading over the papers at Whole Foods and noticed Skirt! a few…read moremonths ago. It's free, it's monthly, it's upbeat, and I find myself looking forward to new issues. I am not aware of any other local publications that focus on women, and it's nice to be able to pick up a paper full of essays that range from pleasant to touching. They did have a recent feminist issue. My opinion is somewhat slanted (I have often wondered in frustration why "feminist" is stigmatized here), so I have to admit that this really cemented my loyalty as a reader. Reading Skirt! is a great hour-long escape!

The magazine also focuses on celebrities, chefs, authors, designers, musicians, business owners, a food and drink guide and fashion and beauty, books, and travel but unlike many other city publications features models, not celebrities on the cover. I usually skips over advertisements but even the ads printed in the Atlantan are colorful and appealing, When I travel to other cities I find it more difficult to find localized Modern Luxury publications. An online guide on where to pick up free copies would be a great addition.

Like many of these hometown newspaper these days MDJ has thinned out over the years. But still its great for local news and if you are looking for things to do on the weekend these guys have you covered.

The Chronicle is published every Friday and is available at most bookstores. I get my copy from Publix (of course) and delivery subscriptions are available.
