Atlanta Journal-Constitution fires reporter after corrections to a Georgia football story

After finding "two elements" of its story of its investigation into Georgia football’s handling of sexual abuse allegations did not meet its journalistic standards, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution announced Wednesday it has fired reporter Alan Judd.

The university’s Athletic Association had demanded the article to be retracted through a nine-page letter through general counsel Michael Raeber, but the AJC said it would not. The school also met with reporters last week to push back at claims made in the article.

The AJC did issue corrections to the June 27 article, it said in a story posted on its website Wednesday afternoon.
