Georgia Tribune (Columbus)
HISTORY
Newspaper
Established in 1932, the Georgia Tribune was a weekly tabloid carrying often-sensationalized national and statewide news.
As evidenced by the paper's vocal support for political candidates such as Herman Talmadge and Strom Thurmond, the Tribune was a staunch segregationist publication.
With bold and sensational headlines, the Tribune displayed racist language and opposition to Civil Rights legislation.
In addition to its stance against Civil Rights, the paper also published content consistent with McCarthyism, or the Second Red Scare.
