On the end of print, the future of ATL journalism & (il)legal solicitation in GA

from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts

As Atlanta moves into 2026, local journalism faces a defining moment. Ron explores what it means as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ends its print edition and goes fully digital, signaling a broader shift in how news is consumed. Matt Scott, executive director of the Atlanta Community Press Collective, joins the show to explain how nonprofit, grassroots outlets are filling gaps left by corporate media—and why community support is now essential.On the national stage, James Comer (R-Kentucky) is a lot like the Wile E. Coyote cartoon character, in Ron's opinion: always chasing after something that'll get him crushed. This time it's testimony from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The more we learn about the Minnesota fraud story, the better Walz is going to look when he's mopping up the floor with Congressional Republicans if he goes.Later, Ron speaks with Darl Champion of the Champion Firm about concerns over-aggressive client solicitation practices (we think "ambulance chasers," they call 'em "runners") in the Georgia legal profession and what consumers should know after an accident. BONUS: Ron's 2026 Resolutions and predictions.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!
