Andy Peters, a finance reporter at the Atlanta Business Chronicle, will join American Banker next month.
He’ll work from Atlanta for a year as part of the community banking team before moving to the D.C. area to work from the Banker’s Arlington, Va., offices.
Peters had just joined the Chronicle in December to cover the banking, finance and legal beats. It was his second stint at the American City Business Journals paper.
After leaving the Chronicle in 1998, Peters worked for the Atlanta bureau of Bloomberg News for three years, covering everything from Coca-Cola to Home Depot and Delta Air Lines. He then spent three years as the Atlanta bureau chief of the Macon Telegraph.
Since 2005, Peters has been a reporter for the Fulton County Daily Report, a legal and business newspaper in Atlanta. He also blogs about mass transit and bike lanes in Atlanta here.
Peters has degrees from Furman University and the University of Georgia.
