AJC Introduces Exciting New Membership Tier for UATL
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, commonly known as AJC, has just unveiled a fresh chapter in its Black culture initiative called UATL. This initiative now features a new paid membership tier designed specifically to provide members with enhanced access to a variety of events, exclusive content, and exciting discounts aimed at building community connections.
Previously launched in 2024, UATL has successfully cultivated a vibrant membership community, accompanied by an active social media presence. This has been achieved through distinct journalism and a variety of unique perks and exclusive events that resonate with the local community.
The newly announced program, referred to as a "supporting member" tier, caters to individuals eager to establish a deeper connection with Black culture. For just $5 a month, these supporting members will enjoy unlimited access to articles on UATL.com, receive early invitations to UATL events, and even have the opportunity to bring a guest to select gatherings. In addition to these benefits, members can look forward to exclusive discounts at notable establishments such as Scotty ATL, Just Loafn, Seed Atlanta, and the Trap Museum, among others, complementing the existing free member benefits, which include a weekly newsletter, three articles a month, and access to selected event invitations.
Transforming AJC into a Modern Media Company
And it's not just about the new membership; UATL plays a significant role in AJC's broader mission to transition from a historical daily newspaper into a modern, multifaceted media company. The Editor-In-Chief, Leroy Chapman Jr., expressed his enthusiasm for the warm reception UATL has received in the community. He noted, "For the last several months, we have consistently heard from members asking: How can we help this community grow? 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."
