ATLANTIAN Revival

From the Editors

A Free Press, Behind the Walls

Atlantian Revival is a magazine created at FCI Atlanta. An online edition is available to those with internet access, but printing ensures freedom of the press, and helps the staff and all-volunteer team spread awareness, solidarity, hope, and optimism about the possibility of launching journalistic endeavors inside.

Each issue is researched, written, and designed by the Atlantian staff, then printed and distributed free of charge to the community both inside and outside the walls. Copies travel to other activists, prisons and supporters across the country, encouraging cross-collaboration and the free exchange of ideas through this form of neotraditional journalism.

As the revival of a historic newspaper that once operated at this same prison, the Atlantian often reprints and comments on issues covered in the early and mid-twentieth century, set alongside parallel coverage of some very similar issues affecting the community today — writing the history of this place and the People's perspective in our own words, rather than leaving it, and us all, to be written about.
