ALM lays off Catts from Fulton County Daily Report

Everett Catts, brand editor of Fulton County Daily Report and Georgia bureau chief for ALM, was laid off as the company is ending the Daily Report’s print publication.

Catts writes, “I also want to thank all of you readers; without you, there would be no Daily Report. I hope you will continue to read it, even as it transitions into an online-only publication.

“In many ways, this has been the best job I’ve ever had. In it I’ve had the luxury to pick and choose my own articles and assignments and work with an incredible staff of reporters and editors in managing the Daily Report’s print edition and website.

“I want to especially thank my boss, Dave Gialanella, for being so wonderful to work with. I also want to thank my fellow editors and all of the reporters, past and present, I’ve worked with over the past nearly 2½ years for all of your help and hard work.”
