One of my top five favorite magazines. South Magazine is to the creative coast what Hour Detroit is to the metro Detroit area. It's a bi-monthly filled with incredible photography and interesting articles on everything from football to coastal habitats of local fauna. There are always fantastic articles on local cuisine with accompanying pictures to salivate over along with previews of upcoming attractions. I really can't emphasize enough the photography of every issue. The shooters at South do a fantastic job. While the writing and content is strong, the photos almost make them seem dull in comparison. Pick up a copy when you're visiting Savannah and see what I mean. read more

South magazine - Print Media Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I first laid eyes on this beautiful creature of a magazine during my stay at the AVIA Hotel. Getting straight to the point...I fell in love. This is a beautiful, creative, artistic publication with seamless execution that is informational and entertaining in every way. The editorial pieces, photography and use of paper is genius...and their website is well executed too. Pick up a copy today! read more

I was an editorial intern at South not once, but twice while I was on breaks from college. Two months after my first stint at the mag, the managing editor quit. When I decided to intern again, I was in correspondence with the new managing editor who (after completing ONE issue) also quit. The managing editor I worked with most recently quit in November (and although she was incredibly sweet, had a degree in Theater -- not Journalism or English). Every single employee I ever met at South (business manager aside) no longer works for the company. The turnover rate is so high that you KNOW there is a problem. The editorial interns at South do most everything for the magazine for free. The other interns and I wrote most of the print content and all of the online daily content. On top of researching and writing my own stories, I was assigned multiple times to edit the work of other interns (which you would assume would be the editor's job) and oftentimes was requested to completely re-write their stories... but still had to share my bylines. While the opportunity to be an intern has it's resume perks, it's not worth feeling disrespected and having to deal with all the office drama. One of the visiting photographers (who was no more than 4-5 years older than us) called the interns "children." Professional? Absolutely not. The bias of the magazine is enough to keep me from ever going back. If someone is advertising, you can guarantee there's going to be a feature about them (per the publisher's request). And when the Paula Deen controversy happened this past summer, South's publisher took to the Facebook page to defend her (because she had given money to the magazine, or what have you). Whatever happened to being unbiased, and practicing journalistic integrity? I became great friends with two of the girls I interned with, and one of them started freelancing for the company post-graduation. She has numerous outstanding bills from them that have exceeded the 30-day pay period. And while I received a letter and gift card (months) after I completed my internship with the magazine, any email I've ever sent post-internship has never received a response. Yes, the final product that South puts out each month looks amazing. I know - I was a major contributor to it. But the way employees and interns are treated - as evidenced by the crazy high turnover rate - makes me think the magazine won't be around for much longer. The company has incredible potential, but is in desperate need of new management. read more

Picked up a copy of this magazine while visiting Savannah & was thoroughly disappointed by the lack of cultural diversity. The Real South is full of people from all backgrounds that bring different aspects and perspectives that this magazine completely doesn't get. read more

South Magazine is the Top magazine in Savannah as fas as I'm concerned. If you live in Savannah or anywhere in the South (or even the North) this is a must read. I have a subscription and can't wait to get the new issue (bi-monthly) to see what the feature article is. The articles range from the Best Chefs & Best Restaurants to the Best Doctors, etc. If you want to be up to date with what's going on in Savannah or the surrounding area you really need to check out this informative magazine. If you are new to the South you need to pick up a copy of the "South" Magazine!! read more

The magazine looks polished, but it is full of simple grammatical errors and most of the articles read like an elementary school newspaper. The office is ran poorly with a super high turnover rate, which is probably why the content is so poor. They need to invest in a good editorial staff. Until then, it will continue to be a one-star magazine. read more
