Summary:

"This wasn't the type of story that The Marietta Daily Journal-or "the MDJ," as locals call it-could get wrong. I knew the editors wouldn't have posted that headline unless they were absolutely certain it was true.And there was a reason why thesmaller community-focused newspaper scooped the city's more prominent flagship outlet The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ("the AJC"). County leaders had tipped off the publisher with the expectation-if not a secret assurance-that its coverage would be favorable. Stadium deals often benefit from complicit media partners, and the MDJ would play an important role in the public relations campaign to make the economic case for the stadium, which civic boosters pitched as A Home Run for Cobb"-- Provided by publisher.
