Why is the AJC going fully digital?
Andrew Morse, the President and Publisher of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said on LinkedIn earlier,
This isn’t just a format change. It’s a transformation rooted in purpose. We’re investing in world-class journalism, expanding our digital products, and deepening our connection with the communities we serve. Our mission remains unchanged: to deliver essential, factual reporting that informs, inspires, and reflects the vibrant Substance and Soul of the South.
In other words, the AJC is keeping up with the times by going fully digital. And on top of finding the best way to serve Atlantans, the AJC believes this will be best for the environment as well, by saving water, trees, and waste to landfills.
