The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the only major daily newspaper in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and its suburbs. The AJC, as it is called, is the flagship publication of Cox Enterprises. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the result of the merger between The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution. The staff was combined in 1982. Separate delivery of the morning Constitution and afternoon Journal ended in 2001.

The AJC reaches a total print and online audience of more than 2.2 million people each week. Every month, more than 2.2 million unique visitors access the newspaper's Web sites, including ajc.com and accessAtlanta.com. From 2003 to Oct. 31, 2008, the paper also published accessAtlanta, a free tabloid-sized entertainment paper. In March 2009, the AJC launched a new free classifieds site called ajcexchange to compete with Craigslist. Unlike Craigslist, ajcexchange allows users to share their listings on a variety of social networking sites, including Facebook.

Subsequent to the staff consolidation of 1982, the afternoon Journal maintained a center-right editorial stance, while the editorials and op-eds in the morning Constitution were reliably liberal. When the editions combined in 2001, the editorial page staffs also merged. The editorials and op-eds have attempted to strike a more "balanced" tone. Most of the paper's editorial stances have been closer to those of the old Constitution. The combined paper endorsed John Kerry for president in 2004; in 2000 the Constitution endorsed Al Gore while the Journal endorsed George W. Bush. The paper condemned Bush's decision to allow the National Security Agency to spy on phone conversations in the United States without a warrant by calling his actions a "clear, present danger".
