Cox Media Group is planning around 87 layoffs at its
campuses in the Atlanta
area, according to Reporter Newspapers, which
publishes monthly papers in the area.
Cox owns
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, among other properties.
The job
cuts are reportedly at the management level, according to Reporter Newspapers.
The Atlanta
Business Chronicle reported that Cox filed a notice in late
August about the planned cuts with the Georgia Department of Labor. The filing
reads that Cox is “transitioning its facilities” at 223 Perimeter Center Parkway in Dunwoody
and 6205 Peachtree-Dunwoody Road in Sandy Springs .
The
location of the AJC newsroom in the long run is still not known. The newsroom
relocated to Dunwoody from downtown Atlanta
nearly a decade ago. There was a plan to move the newsroom back to Atlanta , but that has
been scrapped, according to Reporter Newspapers.
