AJC gets GLAAD nod for gay coverage. Really?

"Glee." "True Blood." "Modern Family." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Which one of these doesn't belong with the others? It's a list that's left some Atlanta media watchers scratching their head.

[...]

The AJC is among five daily newspapers nominated in the category of Outstanding Newspaper Overall Coverage; others include the Denver Post, Los Angeles Times, New York Times and Sal Lake Tribune.

But the AJC has slashed its staff and retrenched to the suburbs to stem its sliding circulation. In the process, the paper has skipped major LGBT events, pulled back on its coverage and – just this month – used "->-bleeped-<-" in coverage of a cross-dressing purse snatcher. Note to GLAAD: That offensive term goes against your own media reference guide.
