Mary Cornatzer
Mary Cornatzer, the growth and business editor of The (Raleigh) News & Observer, announced on Facebook Thursday that she has accepted the McClatchy buyout offer and is leaving the paper.
Her last day is Thursday.
Cornatzer wrote, “The N&O has been good to me for a very long time and that I am leaving because I am ready while I still have time to make contributions elsewhere is a wonderful thing. I’m excited and I’m happy though I know today — my last day and that of several colleagues — will be sad.”
She has overseen the reporters covering the economy, transportation and health care since August 2017. Before that, she was enterprise editor, state government editor, business editor and assistant business editor.
At the business section’s heyday, she managed a staff of 12 reporters, two assistant editors and two copy editors.
Cornatzer, a UNC-Chapel Hill alumnus, started at the paper as a music critic.
