Reporter Newspapers was founded in 2007 by Steve Levene, a veteran of the newspaper industry. Levene recognized the need for hyperlocal news coverage in Atlanta's northern suburbs and launched the publication to fill this gap. The idea was to provide in-depth, community-focused reporting that larger metropolitan newspapers often overlooked. Today, Reporter Newspapers is owned by Springs Publishing LLC, a local media company that Levene established to oversee the publication and its sister outlets. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Reporter Newspapers covers a wide range of local news topics including community events, local politics, education, business, and development in several Atlanta suburbs such as Brookhaven, Buckhead, Dunwoody, and Sandy Springs. While the primary focus is on local news, the publication also touches on broader issues that affect these communities, including state and national politics when relevant to local interests. Reporter Newspapers distributes free print editions to homes and businesses in its coverage areas, in addition to maintaining its online presence. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of Reporter Newspapers is its commitment to fostering young journalistic talent. The publication regularly features articles written by high school students through its “VOX Teen Communications“ partnership, providing a platform for aspiring journalists to gain real-world experience and have their voices heard in the community.
