ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Appen Media Group was noted by The New York Times late in 2023 for its work on a story about the City of Milton and a committee studying the feasibility of the city running its own local elections.
The Times recognized Appen Media on its “Local Journalism Worth Reading From 2023” list, along with dozens of other newspaper and digital profit and nonprofit publications across the country. The list highlights local journalism that holds government accountable or shines light on issues affecting communities, such as environmental challenges, criminal justice matters or socioeconomic problems.
Appen Media’s story from late 2022, written by reporter Amber Perry, noted informal meetings held by the Milton Municipal Election Feasibility Committee that were not open to the public and questions raised by the public about the motivation of committee members. The committee was tasked with studying the feasibility of the city running its own elections rather than paying Fulton County to manage them.
