I found it a little garden path. I think "African American Georgia newspapers from..." is slightly clearer.

That slightly alters the meaning by not using the demonym: newspapers published by African Americans from Georgia vs newspapers published in Georgia by African Americans.

I guess you could also go with African American Georgian Georgia newspapers to be explicit that it's newspapers published in Georgia by African Americans from Georgia.

Sorry, I guess I have Georgia on my mind now.

That's good feedback. I also stumbled a bit on the word Georgian and I am originally from Georgia.

To me, that calls to mind Georgian architecture, not stuff from the state of Georgia.

But the reality is that HN has some guidelines concerning titles (plus a character limit). So I did the best I could within the constraints as I best understand them, but I will certainly keep your remarks here in mind for any future titling challenges.
