Administrative/Biographical History
Southline Press, Inc. was founded in October 1984 by former Georgia State Senator Todd Evans. From February 1985 to May 1988, Evans published Southline, an Atlanta weekly that offered mostly liberal editorials and published news stories on local politics and government, national affairs, the arts, sports, and cuisine. Evans employed a staff of roughly fifteen to twenty editors, writers, and account managers and leased an office at 761B Peachtree Street in the Midtown area of Atlanta, Georgia. At its peak, the newspaper claimed approximately 40,000 subscribers. Southline ceased publication on May 11, 1988, citing financial problems as the primary reason.
