The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) released a statement on Wednesday to say that it has “issued corrections” in a story that investigated current and former members of the Georgia football team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The author, Alan Judd, has been “terminated for violating the organization\u2019s journalistic standards<\/a>,” the outlet said.<\/p>\n

The AJC declined Georgia’s demand to retract the article but detailed the corrections it made.<\/p>\n

Judd’s article, originally titled “UGA football program rallies when players accused of abusing women,” claimed that 11 players remained on the team after reported violent encounters with women and\/or the school. However, the AJC says the “‘precise count of 11 players’ could not be substantiated under <\/strong>the AJC\u2019s standards.”<\/p>\n

Because of this, several paragraphs were deleted and the headline of the story was changed, per the AJC.<\/p>\n

The headline now reads<\/a>, “UGA football program rallied in two incidents when players were accused of abusing women,” as the AJC says the two confirmed cases Judd wrote about were “accurate and newsworthy.”<\/p>\n

In the school’s official demand for a retraction<\/a> of the story, it said that Judd arranged quotes of a police interview with 16-year-old recruit Jamaal Jarrett to play into his “false narrative.” The AJC’s investigation into the quote seemed to side with the university.<\/p>\n

“In a second error, the article improperly joined two statements a detective made minutes apart into a single quotation,” the statement says. “Connecting the sentences did not change the meaning of the quote, <\/strong>but the way it was presented to readers failed to meet AJC standards.”<\/p>\n

“Our editorial integrity and the trust our community has in us is at the core of who we are,” AJC editor-in-chief Leroy Chapman said in a statement. “After receiving the university\u2019s letter, we assigned our team of editors and lawyers to carefully review each claim in the nine-page document we received, along with some additional source material that supported the original story. We identified errors that fell short of our standards, and we corrected them.”<\/p>\n

“A critical part of our mission is to hold people and institutions accountable. It is a responsibility we take seriously,” Chapman continued. “We must hold ourselves to this same standard and acknowledge when we fall short, which we have here.”<\/p>\n

“We apologize to the university and our readers for the errors.”<\/p>\n

The university said the piece included “errors, unsubstantiated allegations, innuendo, and possibly even fabrications” and contained a “reckless disregard for the truth and its imposition of a damaging narrative unsupported by the facts.” But the AJC said they found “no instances of fabrication in the story.”<\/p>\n

“I am proud of the work I have done for the AJC for the last 24 years and I am grateful for the opportunity I\u2019ve had to serve the community,” Judd said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Georgia won its second of back-to-back national championships<\/a> this past January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
