AJC announces product, organizational changes
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The AJC just announced changes designed to better position the company for long-term growth. (This AJC article provides more details.)
In an open letter to readers, AJC Publisher John Mellott wrote,
“Significant change - transformational change - is required to meet the evolving needs of our readers and our advertisers to ensure a strong, sustainable business.”
In addition, a letter was published today from AJC Editor Julia Wallace to Gwinnett readers.
“The decision to discontinue any section is never easy. It is particularly difficult when one has as much history as the Gwinnett section. However, this move reflects the evolving media habits of our readers — Gwinnett is a particularly wired, online-savvy community — and the challenging business climate we are in.”
