Job Description The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is one of the most storied brands in journalism, with a legacy that stretches back more than a century. Our mission is to be the most essential and engaging source of news for the people of Atlanta, Georgia and the South, and we have a vision to transform this great institution into a modern media company.
That's where you come in.

You pay attention to the details, care deeply about quality and accuracy, and are excited to experiment with new formats and creative approaches. Most importantly, you are a team player who is amenable and open to change, evolution, and shifting strategies as we navigate headwinds in the marketplace and changes across our organization.
