One very minor bit of slightly positive info is that after years and years of A+ ratings from the BBB the AJC is now 'down' to a B+ for failure to reply this year to 2 complaints and failure to satisfy 2 other complaints (again this year).

So while I usually refer to the BBB as the Better Cover Up Bureau it just might be worth while to file an online complaint with them:
BBB of NE Georgia
503 Oak Place, Suite 590
Atlanta, GA 30349
www.bbb.org

The quickest way is online at: http://atlanta.bbb.org/
　
Customer Complaints Sumary
114 complaints closed with BBB in last 3 years, 48 closed in last 12 months

2013 AJC Circulation Figures -
Circulation averages for the six months ended 3/31/13 compared to one year ago figures:

JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA (M-F)
2012: 180,592 2013: 231,094 (up +50,502)

JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA SUN 
2012:  402,602  2013:  644,287   (up +241,685)

JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA AVG  (Sat)
2012: 174,251   2013:  163,721  (down -10,530)

Years of complaints have been ignored!

Despite years of complaints to the AJC, to the BBB and setting up several blogs like this on the subject, the Atlanta Journal Constitution persists in throwing their unwanted advertising flyers onto my property.

After some months with no such activity today Oct 4th, they are back at it. The whole subdivision (54 houses) now have these advertising flyers on their lawns, sidewalks and driveways. In my case I DO NOT want them but they pay no attention. It is time to boycott the AJC!

Cobb County Attorneys Opinion

In the April 13, 2010 reply to my earlier complaint Cobb County Attorney's Office Dorothy Bishop writes in part: "Neither the county nor the state codes include advertising matter in the definition of 'litter' which is prohibited under the codes. . . Even if the county might wish to limit the distribution of advertising, we are constrained by constitutional protections for freedom of speech. . . Our unavoidable conclusion is that a local government may not ban such exercises of free speech."

Obviously I disagree, as will most readers, but that is the opinion of the Cobb County Attorney.
