Some BJ connections in Atlanta

This information is from Dick McBane:

There are at least three former Beacon Journalists working in the media in Atlanta, two of them with the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Janet Frankston has been with the AJC for about five years and is primarily covering problems of growth in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Her most recent was a major piece on the regional 25-year transportation plan. If carried out, the plan will cost about $50-billion, traffic will still be snarled, and there will be no expansion of MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Regional Transit Authority); but the population is expected to increase by 2.3-million.

Reaching farther back into the Beacon Journal's past, there is Bill Osinski who also is with the AJC and is covering religion for the Gwinnett (County) News, which is a separate daily section of the AJC. Bill says he remembers his ABJ years fondly.

There is also Morse Diggs who is reporting for WAGA, Channel 5, the Fox channel in Atlanta. Morse covered the Akron police department at the time of the Barbuto scandal.
