Oh, and the ongoing exodus from the AJC. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2009/04/13/cynthia-tucker-moving-to-dc-and-other-news/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2009/04/13/cynthia-tucker-moving-to-dc-and-other-news/#comments Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:13:28 +0000 Scott Henry http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/?p=18364 http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2009/04/13/cynthia-tucker-moving-to-dc-and-other-news/feed/ 25 Cynthia Tucker is moving to Washington D.C. to serve as the AJC's political columnist. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2009/02/23/ajc-outlines-recovery-plan/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2009/02/23/ajc-outlines-recovery-plan/#comments Mon, 23 Feb 2009 23:27:12 +0000 Scott Henry http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/?p=15756 http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2009/02/23/ajc-outlines-recovery-plan/feed/ 1 AJC publisher Doug Franklin announces the paper will be combining some sections. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/06/oreilly-goons-harass-tucker-at-her-home/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/06/oreilly-goons-harass-tucker-at-her-home/#comments Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:13:53 +0000 Andisheh Nouraee http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/06/oreilly-goons-harass-tucker-at-her-home/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/06/oreilly-goons-harass-tucker-at-her-home/feed/ 4 The AJC’s Cynthia Tucker clearly struck a nerve on Wednesday when she used her column to demonstrate how Fox News Senior Falafel Correspondent Bill O’Reilly is a ginormous phony. After calling her a “nut” a couple days ago, O’Reilly sent a camera-wielding goon squad to Atlanta this morning to ambush the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist while she [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/04/cynthia-tucker-and-bill-oreilly-are-a-feudin/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/04/cynthia-tucker-and-bill-oreilly-are-a-feudin/#comments Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:45:01 +0000 Andisheh Nouraee http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/04/cynthia-tucker-and-bill-oreilly-are-a-feudin/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/04/cynthia-tucker-and-bill-oreilly-are-a-feudin/feed/ 2 In a great column yesterday, Pulitzer-having AJC columnist Cynthia Tucker noticed that phony Republican moralists only attack parents of unwed pregnant teens when the parents of said teen are not Republican vice-presidential candidates. Among those she singled out was Fox News Senior Falafel Correspondent Bill O’Reilly. Quoth Tucker: When Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy was revealed, for example, Bill [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/07/10/ajc-issue-section-to-go-bye-bye/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/07/10/ajc-issue-section-to-go-bye-bye/#comments Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:20:05 +0000 Ken Edelstein http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/07/10/ajc-issue-section-to-go-bye-bye/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/07/10/ajc-issue-section-to-go-bye-bye/feed/ 3 Word among Atlanta Journal-Constitution staffers is that the paper’s Sunday @issue section will be eliminated later this summer or early in the fall. In an e-mail response to my questions, AJC Editor Julia Wallace insisted that no decisions have been made about a long-planned remake of the Sunday paper and suggested that I “ignore the rumors.” “We’re [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/05/12/shes-the-mayor-not-the-queen/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/05/12/shes-the-mayor-not-the-queen/#comments Mon, 12 May 2008 21:28:04 +0000 John F.

If anything, the AJC editor was too polite. One thing is also [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/05/09/franklin-im-no-prom-queen/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/05/09/franklin-im-no-prom-queen/#comments Fri, 09 May 2008 22:23:12 +0000 Scott Henry http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/05/09/franklin-im-no-prom-queen/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/05/09/franklin-im-no-prom-queen/feed/ 3 Mayor Shirley Franklin lately has publicly boasted of having a thick skin in the face of criticism over the city’s current budget crisis. But her actions seem to speak otherwise. In a Wednesday column, AJC editorial page editor Cynthia Tucker took the Mayor to task over the budget shortfall, calling it a “blot” on her [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2007/10/17/the-ajcs-cynthia-tucker-goes-bill-cosby/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2007/10/17/the-ajcs-cynthia-tucker-goes-bill-cosby/#comments Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:46:06 +0000 Scott Freeman http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2007/10/17/the-ajcs-cynthia-tucker-goes-bill-cosby/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2007/10/17/the-ajcs-cynthia-tucker-goes-bill-cosby/feed/ 0 Cynthia Tucker has the reputation for taking unpopular stances. She was among the first to call out former Mayor Bill Campbell. She took on Cynthia McKinney and the King family. Which is part of the reason she has received a Pulitzer Prize for her commentary (and a CL “Best of Atlanta” award). In today’s AJC, Tucker [...]
