Southern Voice replacement set for 2010 launch
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A publication aimed at filling the void left by Southern Voice has decided on a name that might ring a bell.
GA Voice (pronounce it as you wish, its creators say) is set to debut early next year both online and in print. Gavoice.com will take over its web domain next week, providing updates on the official launch while posting occasional news items.
"We've pretty much got the money for the pre-launch expenses," said Chris Cash, founder of Southern Voice and publisher of the soon-to-debut GA Voice. "We're in the process now of forming our core team."
Cash expects GA Voice to debut sometime in early 2010. "You'll probably see us online before you see the print version," she said. Former SoVo editor Laura Douglas-Brown has been working with Cash to get GA Voice up and running.
Last week the Lloyd E. Russell Foundation gave the duo $12,000 in matching funds for the new news outlet. Cash said they're still seeking donations at www.savesovo.com.
Window Media LLC closed SoVo and a handful of other gay publications last month after years of struggling financially. Windows was forced into receivership earlier this year by the Small Business Administration.
