Welcome to Atrium.
Our magazine aims to share true stories from Florida that are deeply reported and artfully told. We’ll focus on issues important or unique to the Sunshine State — from the environment to changing demographics to racial justice.
Founded by Moni Basu in 2021, we tell spotlight voices that have not always been heard and of communities that have been underserved. Compelling stories told both in print and through visual journalism.
We are named after the open space in Weimer Hall, home of the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida. The atrium allows the Florida sun to shine in, bringing light into the heart of our building. Similarly, we hope our namesake magazine will help illuminate the heart of our state.
