About Terminus

Terminus is a local news site for the Atlanta metro. The tagline is Atlanta's Original Voice. We cover the service news people need the day they need it: roads and transit, weather, things to do, food, sports, growth, EVs and energy, and pets.

We report in English only, in plain language. Every story opens with a Quick Read, links to the sources we actually read, and carries a topic-desk byline, edited by Channing Webb.

Our non-political pledge

• We report what happened, what it means for you and where the facts came from. We do not tell you what to think.
• We do not endorse candidates, parties or ballot measures, and we do not run political ads.
• Election coverage, when we do it, is limited to service information such as deadlines and polling places, from official elections offices.
• Sponsors and affiliate links never decide what we cover or how we cover it.

How we work

Bylines use topic desks, such as the Terminus Roads Desk, with Channing Webb as editor. We do not name minors, or victims whose names have not been released by authorities. We correct errors quickly and say so on the story. Photos are freely licensed or official public-domain images, and we credit them.

Coverage area
