Overview

  • The final printed newspaper will publish on December 31, 2025, with the AJC operating as a fully digital outlet starting January 1, 2026.
  • An e-edition will continue, a refreshed mobile app debuts this fall, and a ‘white glove’ support effort will help longtime print readers move online.
  • About 30 print-related jobs will be eliminated as production and distribution wind down, according to President and Publisher Andrew Morse.
  • AJC leadership made the decision independently, while owner Cox Enterprises voiced support and highlighted environmental benefits.
