The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is thrilled to announce that Jessica Horne is joining the newspaper’s social media team.
She will be a member of the team responsible for daily programming across the AJC’s social platforms, including, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. She also will assist newsroom colleagues with best social media practices.
Horne’s experience in newsrooms began at Mundo Hispanico, where she had many roles on the digital/social team. From being an on-camera reporter, to video creator, to community manager, she enjoyed connecting with readers in real time while nurturing her passion for journalism via social media.
Horne said she’s “an all-around Georgia girl: Grady baby, Georgia State alumna, terrible driver.”
She has a busy life and brings all that energy to her work.
“I’m a busy mami of one [although I sometimes count my husband Tyson as a #2],” she said. “Running and hiking are my therapy. Tacos are my soul food. McDonough is where I call home, but thanks to my family tree, El Salvador is my heart’s ‘home-home.’ "
Horne can be reached at jessica.horne@ajc.com.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the leading journalism organization in the Southeast, focuses its reporting staff on local matters and closely monitors state and local governments, the local economy, entertainment and sports.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution traces its roots to 1868, the founding date of The Atlanta Constitution. The Atlanta Journal debuted in 1883. The papers have been under common ownership since 1950 and fully merged in 2001. The newspaper is owned by Cox Enterprises, a family-owned company that has been in Atlanta since 1939. While the newspaper is owned by a private company, its news decisions are made by the journalists in the AJC’s newsroom.
