11Alive has changed its logo for the first time in 15  years and added a new slogan: “Where America Speaks.”

The slogan, according to the station, means its reporters will focus more stories on the ground level talking to metro Atlanta residents.

"We want the people of Atlanta to know that they have a real voice in what matters," said 11Alive Director of Marketing Amanda White in a press release.

"11Alive's rebrand comes at a time when it's imperative for us to seek out a range of perspectives and voices to tell the full story," said general manager John Deushane.

The logo was introduced during the 5 p.m. newscast Wednesday. 
Here's the long-standing previous logo:

“The Real” talk show donated $5,000 to a Riverdale TSA employee who is working without pay.

The money will help keep Keneathia Stubbs from being evicted from her apartment and having her utilities shut off. She is currently dependent on food banks to feed her little girl.
