Creative Loafing Charlotte
Creative Loafing Atlanta is an alternative media company founded in 1972 by Deborah and Elton Eason. It has played a significant role in Atlanta’s cultural and political landscape, documenting the city’s evolution through arts, entertainment, news, and social issues. Originally a print weekly, it has transitioned to a primarily online format while still offering occasional special print editions. The publication focuses on local music, arts, dining, politics, and social justice, providing a platform for underrepresented voices and grassroots movements. Creative Loafing engages with a diverse audience, including young professionals, artists, and activists, and has a history of distributing free print copies throughout the city. After a period of ownership changes, Ben Eason reacquired the Atlanta branch in 2017, returning it to family stewardship and emphasizing a digital-first approach. For over 50 years, Creative Loafing has been a vital resource for Atlanta, chronicling the city’s transformation and serving as a cultural touchstone.
