Big Week for Natl, Local Media Outlets

On a local front, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently reported on its own internal changes, including laying off 189 employees and doing away with several sections. However, Metro and Sports will expand to include news from Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb and North Fulton counties, according to Publisher John Mellott. While this news isn’t as compelling as satire’s role in presidential politics, we look forward to following the continuing changes in our city’s major metro daily.
