Atlanta biz reporter shuffle continues

Misty Williams has left the business weekly Atlanta Business Chronicle to cover health care at the daily Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Williams was the industry focus/strategies editor at the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Prior to that she was at the East Valley Tribune in Phoenix, where she covered real estate, and The Bakersfield Californian, where she covered real estate and other topics.

She’s just the latest change in the Atlanta business journalism market.

Last month, Andy Peters left the Fulton County Daily Report to join the Chronicle, where he had worked earlier in his career. Cameron McWhirter, an enterprise and watchdog reporter for the Journal-Constitution, was hired to work for the Wall Street Journal. He replaced Corey Dade, who left the Journal’s Atlanta bureau to work for NPR in Washington.

Brian Grow, an award-winning reporter formerly at BusinessWeek, has joined the Thomson Reuters Professional news team as senior writer for law and will be based in Atlanta. He had been based in Atlanta for BusinessWeek.

And earlier this year, Scott Trubey, who had covered banking and finance for the Chronicle, was hired to cover the same beat for the Journal-Constitution. The daily also hired Arielle Kass in August from Crain’s Cleveland Business to cover retail and UPS.
