The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) announced the next chapter of its Black culture product, UATL, with a new paid tier offering members expanded access to events, content and discounts designed to build community and connection.

Launched in September 2024, UATL has built a community membership program and an engaged social media following through distinct journalism, unique perks and exclusive events.

Today, UATL introduced a new “supporting member” program for those who want to connect more deeply with all things Black culture. For $5 a month, supporting members get unlimited access to all articles on UATL.com, early invites to UATL events, the ability to bring a guest to select events and access to exclusive discounts at Scotty ATL, Just Loafn, Seed Atlanta, Trap Museum, Breakfast Boys and more. This adds to UATL’s existing free member benefits: a weekly newsletter, three monthly articles, and select event invitations.

UATL is a key part of the AJC’s plan to transform from a storied daily newspaper into a modern media company. AJC Editor-In-Chief Leroy Chapman Jr. said it’s been exciting to see how Atlanta has welcomed UATL into the fold.

“For the last several months, we have consistently heard from members asking: How can we help this community grow?” he said. “This is a natural next step that will help us deepen our connection to the community and expand our contribution to this culture, which continues to shape the world.”
