Atlanta Journal-Constitution to End 150-Year Print Run in 2025

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution plans to discontinue its daily print newspaper at the end of 2025, ending more than 150 years of continuous publication. Management said the title will shift to an all-digital model while continuing to publish special-print products such as Sunday inserts and magazines. The decision comes even though the paper remains profitable, according to internal communications cited in media reports. The outlet currently counts about 115,000 paid subscribers, including roughly 75,000 digital-only customers. Publisher Andrew Morse said the print retreat reflects structural pressures across the news business. He noted that the paper’s organic traffic from Google has fallen 40 percent over the past year, adding, “The bottom has fallen out of the entire industry.”

Unpopular opinion: Print newspapers can and should be relevant (digest of what's happened, preview of what's to come, sharp analysis, features, arts, tips and tools for life, plus comics!), but the industry long ago bungled the print product, stripping away content and value. https://t.co/sB7ShnTUrj
