Half the staff of Atlanta magazine has quit after the publisher challenged their effort to present a modern picture of life in a diverse, LGBTQ-friendly town.
After it published, however, McGinnis told staffers the issue “missed the mark,” according to Buckner and the other former employee. Pressed for specifics, he said it was “too urban.”
Hour Media, though, instituted a new chain of command, in which each editor in chief answered to the magazine’s publisher, who reported directly to corporate brass. To Steve Fennessy, Riley’s predecessor as editor in chief, the new structure suggested that “whoever is in the editor’s chair … that person isn’t going to enjoy that same independence” that he once did.
“More recently you start to delve deeper into issues around the impact of Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light and Target and Riley Gaines versus Lia Thomas and the White House pride celebration,” he said, shorthanding several topics animating the Republican Party’s base and conservative media. “It’s enough, right, to make us all crazy.”
Worley was surprised. “I was aware of some controversy related to drag, but it never occurred to me that something like this would be objectionable in Atlanta, specifically in this city,” he told The Post, noting Atlanta’s vibrant LGBTQ+ scene. “It’s really colorful, it’s really eye-catching. That’s what you’re going for with a magazine cover.”
