The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday named Sharif Durhams, a veteran journalist whose career includes leadership positions at The Washington Post and CNN, as managing editor of news.

Durhams, 46, is a deputy managing editor at the Post whose responsibilities include multiple breaking news desks, including the general assignment team, Morning Mix and newsrooms in Seoul and London. Prior to his time at the Post, Durhams was a leader on the global digital programming team at CNN, and also has experience as a government and education reporter.

Durhams will start in his new AJC role later this month.

At the AJC, Durhams will oversee the crime and public safety team, politics, education, local government, business and climate and environment coverage.

A native of Raleigh, North Carolina, and a University of North Carolina Tar Heel, Durhams said he is also excited to return to the South.
