The Lead: AJC’s Olivia Wakim on Food Reporting

Olivia Wakim understands that every great meal tells a story.

As a digital content producer on the food and dining team at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Wakim narrates the flavors and origins of the Atlanta culinary scene. Having graduated from the University of Georgia in 2023, she is already making her mark at a major news outlet, bringing a fresh perspective and digital-first mindset to food and dining coverage.

This is the second episode of our special three-part feature highlighting different branches of culture in journalism. In this episode, we talk about securing a job at a major outlet post-grad, digital content trends, and keeping food coverage fresh in a competitive media space.
