Forming a Journalism Cooperative in Georgia [1]

Georgia's law limits the creation of cooperative organizations to those involved in the production of agricultural products (see O.G.C.A. § 2-10-83 [2]). You would therefore not be able to form a journalism cooperative in Georgia. However, you may be able to form a journalism organization with certain aspects of a cooperative under another business form, such as an LLC [3], a partnership [4], a corporation [5], or a nonprofit corporation [6]. You should consult with a Georgia attorney for further information regarding your options for forming a business in Georgia.
