I’m very interested in the “downtown life” portion of “downtown life and business,” and would like to explore that a little more. In thinking about what I would like to do with my beat, I’ve looked to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Living Intown & Living Northside.”
The focus of both is to “provide an insider’s perspective into the attractions and events in and around the unique neighborhoods of metro Atlanta, both intown and on the northside of the city…[and] explore the distinct neighborhoods, events and entertainment, and arts and culture that are unique to these exciting areas.” That is what I would like to do for Athens’ downtown area through my work—look at it through a broad lens and, in doing so, showcase its ‘something-for-everyone’ vibe.
