The Charlotte Observer, which first reported the news, said his departure was due to a “downsizing move” at parent company American City Business Journals. His last day is Dec. 31.
Cranford has been at the paper for 26 years. He previously was assistant managing editor, primarily responsible for content of special reports, special publications and the viewpoint page. He also had some editing responsibility for the paper’s website and previously worked as a reporter.
“It’s been fun to witness and report on the growth of the city and the business community,” said Cranford in an email to Talking Biz News. “I will miss covering the news and competing against the Observer. The competition made both publications better.”
Cranford graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1980 and worked in New York for five years at Institutional Investor’s newsletter division, covering the bond market, before coming to Charlotte in 1987 and freelancing.
