ATLANTA (July 23, 2009) – Cox Media Group announced today that Michael Joseph is being promoted to publisher of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC), effective immediately. Joseph currently serves as the AJC’s general manager and president. He will continue reporting to Doug Franklin who will continue his role at Cox Media Group as executive vice president.
“Mike is a natural choice for this role,” said Franklin. “First in Dayton, and most recently in Atlanta, Mike has exhibited a wealth of operations and management experience. These skills will be invaluable as the AJC adjusts its business model to best serve readers and advertisers.” Joseph joined the AJC in April 2009 to oversee all of the company’s business operations, including advertising, marketing, circulation, production and human resources. Prior to joining the AJC, Joseph served as president and CEO of Cox Ohio and publisher of the Dayton Daily News.
He joined Cox Ohio Publishing in 1995 and served a number of roles. While in Dayton, he was responsible for multiple business operations, including advertising sales, distribution, manufacturing, finance, information systems and human resources. He also oversaw the planning, design and operations of Cox Ohio’s Print Technology Center, which produces the company’s four daily and eight weekly newspapers, as well as the regional edition of The New York Times. Prior to joining Cox, he worked for Pioneer Press Newspapers in Illinois.
Very happy for the new publisher, Godspeed, blah blah blah.
Actually- I think the Post is looking better these days.
Thanks We Were Print for linking my site. You might also want to add the Palm Beach Artspaper- helmed by Greg Stepanich and featuring former Post arts writers (Hap, Sharon, Scott Simmons) and others. They do a pretty amazing job covering the arts scene. I draw a couple pictures for them every issue.

It appears in magazine style print as well.
I’d be happy to link former posties to my site(s.)

I encourage everyone to try a blog.
Setting up a Google blog is simple and takes just a few minutes. Google offers excellent features- gmail and google analytics – all for free. You can add Google ads that’ll pay off if you get enough traffic. Jan Norris probably knows more about that.
We Were Print is a WordPress blog that offers rails on either side of the entries. Google only has one rail.
I use my blog as an online portfolio. Eventually I’ll try to steer some Art Directors to it and try to rustle up some freelance.
Anyone hearing anything about the next round of layoffs?
