The AJC Editorial Board comprises Andrew Morse, president and publisher; Leroy Chapman Jr., editor in chief; Samira Jafari, standards head; and David Plazas, opinon editor.
The board’s mission is to be a catalyst for discussion and solutions that improve the lives of Georgians. The editorial page of the print edition and AJC.com is a forum where different viewpoints are represented, including those of the board. The board’s opinions do not shape news coverage, which is compiled by news reporters who work independently, report factually and strive to cover news stories fairly and impartially.
For matters relating to the opinion pages, to submit a guest essay or first-person piece, email us at opinion@ajc.com.
Here are the AJC standards:
- 750 words max
- Include 2-3 hyperlinks for reference in the text
- One-sentence author bio
- High-resolution author headshot with photo credit
- Please keep the op-ed issues-focused and not promotional (rule of thumb: Would the author read it if he or she had not written it?)
For matters relating to other sections and pages, choose from the newsroom contacts on this page.
