General

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Senior Economics Writer Michael Kanell will be taking a buy out offer and retiring from the paper after decades covering economic topics. I can't express how talented a writer Kanell is and how much readers of the AJC will miss him.
Health reporter Helena Olivero is taking the buyout offer
Jennifer Brett is taking the buyout offer. We've known Jennifer through so many steps in her career, from the Gwinnett Bureau to PeachBuzz to crime reporting.
Others taking the buyout include: Jennifer Brett, Shane Harrison, Susan Potter, Laura Woody, Bill Rankin, Matt Kempner, Chip Towers, Leo Willingham, Shawn McIntosh, Mark Waligore, John Spink, Chris Vivlamore.

CNN - Jada Furlow has joined as a Content Producer. She was previously with WANF TV

Eater - Henna Bakshi is now Regional Editor, overseeing dining coverage of the American South, including Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, the Carolinas, and Nashville.

Georgia Health News - Andy Miller is retiring from health care reporting after 32 years on the beat. He has reported on health care in Georgia for the AJC, Georgia Health News, and KFF Health News, and has consulted for Healthbeat. He may do some writing in retirement, if he can still put a sentence together.
