Who we are is what we do

We are more than a newspaper

MISSION: The Georgia Voice is the news outlet of re-cord for the state’s LGBT communities and their allies. Through ethical, professional reporting, we aim to edu-cate and empower our readers to become informed advo-cates for the rights that lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-gender people continue to be denied in the 21st century.

The Georgia Voice offers three products: a bi-weekly news-paper; an actively updated, interactive website ( visit us at www.thegavoice.com); and “Destination: Gay Atlanta,” At-lanta’s official LGBT travel guide published annually in part-nership with the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau.

On stands every other Friday, our full-color newspaper is free to readers across the metro-Atlanta area and free to download in a page-by-page format online. We regularly print 7,000 cop-ies, more for special issues, and estimate a readership of 18,000 in metro Atlanta and Savannah. Our page-count averages well above our 28-page minimum, with special issues topping 80 pag-es. There are more than 4,000 subscribers to our weekly e-mail blast that summarizes developing news and upcoming events.

Our website, www.thegavoice.com, is updated daily with gay-specific breaking news, arts and events coverage. The site currently counts about 1,500 unique visitors a day (about 2,000 visits in total), and when news breaks, traffic spikes to approximately twice that and has reached as many as 18,000 unique visitors in one day.

“Destination: Gay Atlanta” is our full-color, glossy, digest-sized travel guide. It hit the streets for the first time in April 2011 with 80 pages of restaurant, retail, nightlife and lodg-ing listings for Atlanta’s gay-owned and gay-friendly busi-nesses. Georgia Voice is also instrumental in contributing to www.gay-atlanta.com, the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bu-reau’s gay-specific travel website.

Each product is covered by a social media strategy that in-cludes Facebook,YouTube, Twitter and other platforms dis-tributed exclusively under the Georgia Voice brand.

The web and print editions of Georgia Voice work in concert to give readers a comprehensive LGBT media outlet that provides both immediate access to information and the analysis and perspective to understand how it im-pacts all of us.

Georgia Voice publishes in print every other week and daily online.

The print edition of the Georgia Voice offers news, analysis, features and com-mentary in an engaging, news-magazine style. The Georgia Voice publishes every other Friday with a current press run of 7,000 copies and a readership of 18,000 in the Atlanta metro area and Savannah. The digital version of the newspaper has been viewed more than 135,000 times.

Publishing every other week, rather than weekly, was an intentional decision that allows the Georgia Voice to offer what is too often missing in today’s information-saturated society: context. Thanks to the Internet and the 24/7 cable news cycle, people are often bombarded with an end-less stream of information. There is no shortage of headlines, but readers remain starved for insight, analysis, perspective, and time to sit back, make sense of it all, and develop and share their own opinions. Our longer news cycle allows Georgia

Voice to offer readers more depth than is often possible in the breaking news-driven world of the web.

The website, www.thegavoice.com, is a robust portal for LGBT news, events and community interaction. Updated multiple times daily, it provides breaking news as it happens, developments in ongoing sto-ries as they evolve, the day’s top events and headlines, expansive video and photo galleries, and a directory of community organizations. As of October 30, 2012, our website had 4,330,000+ page views from 955,859 unique visitors and had de-livered 15,827,000 ad impressions for 100+ advertisers.

The Georgia Voice website works in conjunction with social media efforts in-cluding Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to keep in constant contact with readers. Currently, GA Voice has more than 5,600 “likes” on Facebook and adds an average of 50 each week. Our email subscriber base is more than 4,000 and we have more than 3,800 followers on Twitter.

Complimenting the compelling content at www.thegavoice.com, a variety of online advertising options give local and national companies the opportunity to engage daily with an active, savvy readership. Advertis-ers have a choice of four placements and receive discounts on web advertising if they also purchase print advertising.

The purchasing power and brand loyalty of lesbians and gay men has been thoroughly researched and reported over the past sev-eral decades. Community Marketing, Inc., a marketing research, marketing fi rm estab-lished in 1992, states on its website:

“The facts are plain: gay men and les-bians travel more, own more homes and cars, spend more on electronics, and have the largest amount of disposable income of any niche market...their dollars go to-products, services and destinations that

recognize their unique buying preferences and offer them differentiated value.”

LGBT buying power in the United States in 2012 was estimated to be $790 billion according to the marketing research fi rm Witeck-Combs Communications. That number is expected to rise to close to $1 trillion in 2013.

The LGBT community in Atlanta is large and active. In the American Community Survey (US Census Bureau) of 2005, At-

lanta ranked third in cities with the larg-est LGBT population at 12.8%. Only San Francisco and Seattle ranked higher. There are 250+ LGBT and AIDS-related organi-zations within the metro area alone and Pride attendance has placed Atlanta in the top fi ve in the country for over a decade.
