David Allison, the editor of the Atlanta Business Chronicle, sent out the following announcement to the staff about changes:

I’m sorry to announce that after 12 great years at the ABC, Julie Bryant is leaving us to join the Metro Atlanta Chamber in its communications department. Julie has made tremendous contributions as a reporter and editor, and now she’ll be working to help the city’s business community continue to grow.

Julie’s move will trigger a number of others.

Moving into the managing editor position is Jessica Saunders, who’s done great work as industry focus editor.

Moving into the industry focus editor position is Lisa Schoolcraft, who will now oversee the Strategies section and some focus sections with Jessica.

Doug Sams is being promoted to real estate editor. While he will continue reporting on commercial real estate, he will now take over oversight of our monthly CRE sections, helping to bolster the Focus Section team of Jessica and Lisa.

Lastly, we’ve begun an immediate search for a new reporter to cover hospitality and retail and hope to hire someone soon.

Join me in thanking Julie for her long service to the ABC and congratulate Jessica, Lisa and Doug on their new roles.
