The Atlanta Times was a short-lived conservative newspaper in the early 1960s in Atlanta, Georgia. It was launched in mid-1964 by former U.S. congressman James C. Davis to advance the cause of racial segregation in the United States and to combat "radicalism," and had ceased publication by September 1965.[1] The paper aspired to a circulation of about 125,000 but achieved only 75,000, and reportedly lost US$3 million. It failed to attract major department stores as advertisers, and readers remained more loyal to established papers like the Atlanta Journal and the Atlanta Constitution than anticipated.[1]
