Business writer faces economic crisis

Doug Evans of Fox 5 in Atlanta takes a look at the story of Maria Saporta, the former Atlanta Journal-Constitution business columnist who took the paper’s buyout last month and now writes for the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

Evans writes, “Reporter Maria Saporta is writing a new story for her own life.  Just last month she took a voluntary separation from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution — leaving the beleaguered newspaper business to strike out on her own.
    
“‘You are in the first office I’ve ever had.  I’ve always been in a newsroom,’ said Saporta.

“Boxes on the floor, no pictures on the walls and yet her new office has a Peachtree Street address.

“She has landed well.  A full page ad in the Atlanta Business Chronicle trumpets that they have snagged her for contributing reports. The business writer is now in the business of freelance business journalism.”
