News AJC buyouts semi-final
Posted by Scott Henry @ScottTheHenry on Tue, Apr 10, 2007 at 11:32 PM
The list of 40 or so AJC veterans opting to take a buyout to retire early has now been finalized. Or nearly so, since apparently some of those headed out the door didn’t want their co-workers to know yet that they’re leaving.
Last week, we predicted the imminent departure of movie critic Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, political reporter Tom Baxter, investigative reporter Ron Martz, fashion writer Marilyn Johnson, all-purpose writer Mae Gentry, and Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Mike Toner.
According to a memo sent today to AJC employees, we can now add to that list:
- North Fulton reporter Paul Kaplan
- Travel writer Paula Crouch Thrasher
- Crime reporter Bill Montgomery
- Human-interest reporter Bill Osinski
- Editorial writer David McNaughton
- City Life editor Jingle Davis
- Education editor Keith Graham
- Photographers Nick Arroyo, W.A. Bridges and Charlotte Teagle
As for conservative columnist Jim Wooten, word is he changed his mind and decided to stay. Drat. No word on investigative reporter Jane Hanson, who was rumored to be leaving, but whose name did not appear on the list.
The real hair-pulling begins at 9 a.m. Wednesday, when everyone else comes in to discover if his or her job still exists. Bring a camera -- there may be a few swan dives from the ninth floor of 72 Marietta St.
