At The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, we’ve been open with our employees and subscribers about our plans for a digital future. Over the last several years, most of our operational work has been focused on bolstering our digital products and reducing our emphasis on print production. As a result, we have doubled our digital subscribers and we’re reaching more people than ever before.

As of now, we do not have plans to scale back our seven-day print delivery, but eventually, that day will come. When we do decide to reduce our print schedule, it will be because our business is ready and our employees, subscribers, advertisers and partners will be the first to know.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has been a trusted, reliable source of fact-based news for 150 years, and we are committed to making sure it is published for another 150 more. The residents of our city and state deserve no less.

You find newspapers at the best places in town!

I can’t begin to tell you how many times over the years that I’ve been asked if I’m related to the Holcombs of Holcomb’s Bar-B-Q in Greensboro, GA. I don’t know of any direct relation, but I FINALLY got to taste their barbecue today! Angie and I were in our way home from a quick trip to Augusta this morning, and they were open when we drove by. Of course, we had to stop to try it out. Good stuff!! FYI, I paid full price and didn’t get a “family” discount!!
