Credit: George Galbreath I’ve been pretty vocal about the things that are lacking from the publications we have here in Atlanta and how much I miss Creative Loafing. I read the work of Gavin Godfrey, Maurice Garland and Rodney Carmichael in the alt-weekly when I was in college and they played a HUGE role in my desire to become an entertainment reporter. I scored my first professional byline the day I graduated college in the publication. When I went freelance, one of my first regular gigs was a column in Creative Loafing, even as the publication was on the decline. It’s truly a shame that residents can’t benefit from this source of news anymore and that young reporters don’t have the opportunity to develop their voice in this space.
