Rumors swirl that major Atlanta newspaper may discontinue daily print edition

Rumors about the future of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution have been swirling following a report that the newspaper was planning to discontinue daily print editions. The paper is one of the 20 largest newspapers in the U.S. in terms of circulation.

SaportaReport stated the AJC had plans to go to a weekend print edition only, but that it would continue its digital news operation seven days a week, citing interviews with people close to the newspaper. The report indicated the move would likely not happen until sometime in 2023.

FOX 5 in Atlanta reached out to the AJC for comment and learned that “while the newspaper has no plans at present to change its print schedule, that day is on the horizon.”

“As of now, we do not have concrete plans to scale back our seven-day print delivery, but eventually, that day will come,” said AJC General Manager Bala Sundaramoothy.
