Atlanta Journal-Constitution Chief Steps Down Amid Digital Transition Challenges
Andrew Morse, the chief of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC), is stepping down after leading the newspaper's ambitious digital transformation. Morse aimed to increase digital subscribers significantly and shift the paper from print to digital-only content. Despite achieving modest growth in digital subscriptions, Morse cites personal reasons for his departure. His efforts have been part of a broader trend among legacy newspapers facing financial pressures and seeking sustainability through digital innovation. Morse will be succeeded by Paul Curran, a senior advertising executive at Cox Media.
