Atlanta Journal-Constitution Prints Final Edition, Moves to All-Digital

Leaders cite shifting reader habits, promising a sharper focus on digital reporting.

Overview

  • The AJC delivered its last print newspaper on Dec. 31, 2025, and will publish exclusively online beginning Jan. 1, 2026.
  • Print subscribers must switch to digital to keep access, with plans priced at $9.99 per month or $99 per year.
  • Publisher Andrew Morse says the decision reflects how audiences now get news and allows the newsroom to devote all resources to its digital platforms.
  • The organization highlights reduced environmental impact and stronger engagement across its website, app, newsletters, podcasts, video and live events.
  • The final print issue sold for $8 and asked, “What is the future of local media in Atlanta?”, as the city becomes the only major U.S. market without a daily printed paper and the AJC expands access through a Georgia Public Library Service partnership.
