About Contributor
The Savannahian is a digital alt weekly that covers issues important to Savannah by giving a voice to the people who inhabit it. We’re passionate about the people who make our community what it is, and we want to give a voice to those people, especially those generally marginalized by other media.
The Savannahian was founded in 2020 by Jim Morekis, Rachael Flora and Sean Kelly, and is currently operated by Jim and Sean. With decades of combined experience in journalism and within the city itself, we serve as institutional memory for a city that’s rapidly changing, and we aim to be a trusted source on and advocate for Savannah’s grassroots culture and civic identity.
We seek to fill a widening gap in credible journalistic coverage of the local market during a time of media collapse and consolidation. We will strive to be a true and faithful destination for journalism in Savannah, including in-depth investigative pieces on issues that deserve attention and by creating a strong roster of writers that help tell the real stories of Savannah.
