Editor note: Since the original broadcast of this interview, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution issued corrections to its recent investigation into the University of Georgia football program’s handling of sexual abuse allegations against its players and recruits. The AJC has terminated Alan Judd, the reporter and subject of this interview.
Leroy Chapman, editor-in-chief of the AJC, issued the following statement: “AJC editors and attorneys investigated each complaint raised by university officials in the letter and found two elements of the story that did not meet the news organization’s journalistic standards.”
