Analysis / Bias
Atlanta Civic Circle engages in investigative journalism and community news reporting, often highlighting issues related to government transparency, social justice, and inequality concerns. Its reports focus on state politics and policy. Articles and headlines contain moderately loaded emotional language, such as this Atlanta OIG says city improperly awarded 311 contract. Like most others, this story is thorough, relying on credible sources such as government documents and outlets like the Associated Press.
Editorially, story selection and opinion pieces, such as City council chills Atlanta from opening warming centers near schools favor the left. They also promote social justice and environmental concerns, which are views favored by the left.
In general, the Atlanta Civic Circle is fact-based and holds moderately progressive viewpoints.
