Southern Voice (commonly known as SoVo) was a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender newspaper in Atlanta and the Southeast United States. It was founded by Atlanta native Christina Cash as an independent publication in 1988. It published until AUGUST, 1997 and was then purchased by Window Media, who also bought rights to the name. Window bought and then published several gay-oriented newspapers in the United States. It focused mainly on global and regional political issues concerning LGBT persons. Southern Voice was a member of the National Gay Newspaper Guild. Southern Voice claimed over 100,000 readers, the most widely read LGBT paper in the region. On November 16, 2009, Southern Voice and several related publications, including the Washington Blade, were shut down as Window Media closed up shop. The US Bankruptcy Court in Atlanta auctioned the assets of Southern Voice in February 2010. The rights to the names, trademarks, and archives of Southern Voice and David Atlanta magazine were sold to Matt Neumann, publisher of Gaydar magazine for $9.000. Southern Voice was revived on April 16, 2010, though with an erratic printing schedule and complaints about quality control. David Atlanta magazine reappeared on March 10. The paper ceased publishing after the December 2, 2010, issue. David Atlanta and Southern Voice were sold in August 2011 to David Thompson. According to DRT Media Group, Southern Voice is not being considered for re-launch in the foreseeable future. David Atlanta transitioned into Peach Atlanta and is published weekly. Christina Cash, founder of SoVo, launched GA Voice in March, 2010. Her attempt to buy the name “Southern Voice” was unsuccessful in bankruptcy court. She launched the newspaper with partners Laura Douglas-Brown and Tim Boyd. Several SoVo staff members joined the GA Voice staff. GAVO is still publishing as of February, 2022. Early issues of Southern Voice dating from 1988 to 1995 are available online through the Digital Library of Georgia.
