ATLANTA – Phoenix Intermedia. LLC announces the launch of the online edition of PHOENIX Atlanta Magazine at www. phoenixatlanta. com.

PHOENIX Atlanta is a free publication dedicated to serving as a forum for issues and challenges facing members of AtlantaÂ’s African-American social, service, civic and fraternal organizations. The magazineÂ’s audience includes members of the more than 150 groups whose purpose and efforts serve the African-American constituency in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Circulation includes, but is not limited to, businesses, churches, and colleges and universities.

In addition to focusing on specific issues relating to Atlanta, the magazine will also address the internal structure and external focus of the organizations, including effective leadership, fundraising and financial management, organizational collaboration and public perception.

“To our knowledge, PHOENIX Atlanta Magazine is the only media outlet that specifically targets African-American organizations,” said publisher Traci-Lynne Harden. “We are able to provide such specialized attention because the PHOENIX Atlanta team members are closely associated with our target demographic. Bottom line, we know our audience and we want to be the source of information for it.”

The online edition, dedicated to networking and collaboration, launched on October 22, 2003. The printed edition will launch in January 2004 and will center on making resolutions to improve organizational health. PHOENIX Atlanta will be distributed in numerous outlets throughout the city, including libraries, bookstores, restaurants and other businesses.

PHOENIX Atlanta will also present several events throughout the year, including an organizational summit and a cultural benefit for the Southwest Atlanta Youth Business Organization (SWAYBO). Additionally, the magazine will hold an annual literary contest for Atlanta Public School students.

“PHOENIX Atlanta is dedicated to results through collaboration,” Harden said. “We strive to serve our readers in unity, in purpose and in truth.”
