About Georgia Civic News Guide
Georgia Civic News Guide is an independent publication about Georgia, Atlanta and national public affairs. Its purpose is to help readers understand how to investigate a public claim, locate a relevant record and distinguish reporting from commentary or campaign material.
Questions behind the headlines
Georgia coverage examines public information sources, civic institutions and ways to follow developments in the state. A headline can draw attention to an issue without explaining which body has responsibility or where the underlying document can be found.
The Atlanta section considers local information, community resources and the practical details behind a public announcement. Readers benefit from knowing the date, jurisdiction and scope of a source before applying it to their own circumstances.
National coverage explains source evaluation and the relationship between a claim and its supporting evidence. An allegation, an opinion and an established finding are different kinds of statement and should be presented with those differences clear.
Independent source assessment
We aim to use identifiable sources and provide context for disputed claims. The presence of a statement in a campaign archive does not establish its truth, and historical material should not be presented as a current account without further verification.
The publication does not tell readers how to vote or offer personalised political advice. Readers should consult current official sources for election procedures and use appropriate professional guidance for individual legal or other specialist questions.
A separate publication
Radicalraphael.com is not affiliated with the former campaign website, any candidate, political party or advocacy organisation. Its historical domain name does not mean that the earlier site’s allegations or political objectives are adopted here.
Corrections and public records relevant to an editorial point can be sent to [email protected]. Please identify the guide and explain how the source relates to the statement you would like reviewed.
