A.T.L. N.E.W.S. Bureau Directory
Seven state editions today. A wider world ahead.
Our bureau network brings the stories of people, businesses, and communities into The A.T.L. Story Commons. Through local reporting, current events, community perspectives, and visual storytelling, A.T.L. N.E.W.S. connects the places we call home with the wider world.
This directory identifies our seven available state bureau websites and the national and international expansion we are working toward by the end of 2027. The permanent national headquarters remains in the Atlanta area, based in Belvedere Park, Georgia.

Our end-of-2027 expansion goal
50 state bureaus and seven continental bureaus
We are working toward having all 50 U.S. state bureaus operating, supported by our four U.S. regional bureaus, alongside seven continental bureaus by the end of 2027. This is our expansion goal, and the seven state websites listed above represent what is available today.
Our work includes strengthening the current editions, developing additional state destinations, building reporting and contributor relationships, and establishing the editorial coordination needed for wider coverage. New bureaus will be added to the available directory as their publication operations are ready.
Seven continental bureaus in development
Our planned continental bureaus will operate alongside the U.S. state network, connecting international perspectives with the wider Story Commons. Each continent is intended to have a coordinating bureau; continental headquarters locations and launch details will be announced as they are confirmed.
- Africa
- Antarctica
- Asia
- Europe
- North America
- South America
- Australia and Oceania
The North American continental bureau is planned to cover Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. The 50 U.S. state bureaus will retain their separate domestic structure, supported by the four U.S. regions, while the continental bureaus develop in parallel.
