News Decatur Metro questions the future of Atlanta journalism
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Decatur Metro has a great conversation about my colleague Scott Henry's news that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newsroom is bracing for yet another round of job cuts.
Commenters weigh in on what's to blame, whether it's the Internet, liberal bias, or other factors. (For what it's worth, Whet Moser, an excellent writer at CL's sister paper The Chicago Reader, has a lengthy post that nails the various factors at play in journalism.)
One commenter who says he's an AJC journalist chimed in on the Decatur Metro post and added some first-hand knowledge to the discussion. This part stood out:
You print lovers need to brace yourself. I think there’s a real possibility that the print version of the AJC may be gone by the end of next year. Yes, I’m serious.
Yee-ouch.
