About
I am Truong Nguyen, known by the pen name Truong Atlanta. I am a freelance journalist and independent content creator currently living and working in Suwanee, Georgia (Gwinnett County) — one of the most dynamic centers of Vietnamese-American life in the Southeast United States.
With years of experience in construction contracting and home renovation in Georgia, I have deep insight into the everyday reality of the Vietnamese community in America, from working-class families to entrepreneurs and professionals.
Areas of Focus
- Geopolitics & U.S. Current Affairs: I apply Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) methodology to analyze political issues, federal policy, and international developments — translating and interpreting them for the Vietnamese diaspora.
- Economy & Local Life: I review restaurants and local businesses along the Buford Highway corridor — the multicultural culinary heart of Atlanta. My work has been cited by the international travel site Islands.com.
- Immigrant Voices: I document the hopes, challenges, and stories of resilience among Vietnamese living abroad, preserving community history through video and writing.
Editorial Principles
I operate independently, representing no mainstream media organization or political faction. I prioritize verified, cross-referenced sources with a strong commitment to honesty and evidence-based reporting.
