Whoops, Bill Husted got his pink slip and AJC lost another subscriber.
But I do thank AJC for all the memories in the paper. Braves Win!
Katrina! April 30, 1990 editon. Obituraries! Regular size paper.
The Princes Elizabeth and Prince Charles wedding 1948. Back then
there were two: Atlanta Journal (evening) and the other Atlanta Constitution (morning.)
On Sunday there were both in the mornings.
So long AJC, You have been a good friend and did a good job.

What you have done in cancelling Bill Husted is more stupidity; I continually am having to re evaluate keeping my subscription! Why don’t you get rid of a real idiot like Cynthia Tucker? Can we still submit questions to Hulsted, and how?

I too am upset at the loss of Bill Husteds columns. It isn’t even reprinted on the AJC website anymore. His columns and advice are/were one of the BEST parts of the entire AJC. He actually helped so many people, as opposed to most of your non-news articles. I have a suggestion—to save money, why not cut back—–WAAAAY BACK on the racist-bigoted articles spewed from the computer of your Pulitizer Prize winning editor? Those articles only stir up anger & hatred among people. rather than promote good and harmony. Bill’s articles were down to earth, helpful and in today’s stress filled world, a very welcome break PLUS doing what could be called “a good deed” for others. I shared his articles with a cousin who lives UP in the Sierra Nevada Mtns. of California. Frankly there is nothing else in the AJC I would consider sharing with others. You Editors need to rethink what a Newspaper is supposed to be. Changing fonts, ink and size just doesn’t do the job, reporting facts & truth honestly & fairly would do it, for me, anyway.

Bill Husted’s column is usually a must read for me. Although most of us use commputers all the time, most of us are not that knowledgeable and he frequently answers the questions many of us had. I am very sorry to see you are cutting back on his column. I was wondering why I could not find it, until I ran across this discussion.

I have subscribed to the AJC for 7 years. Before that, I have subscribed to good newspapers in Charlotte, Baltimore, New York/New Jersey. Although their politics were out of line with Georgia, I thought the AJC was a good newspaper otherwise. The changeover in my opinion has made it a second rate paper that takes me about 15 minutes to peruse.

The Cancelling of Bill Husted’s daily Column was another blow to the read ability/utility of the the paper. It is no secret the readership of the AJC is primarily older “Boomers”. These folks, while not the target group for the “New AJC” are still folk that the Paper has a duty to service.

As bewildering as new technologies are to older folk Mr. Husted’s high quality Internet/hardware/whereto…. Columns were a so much appreciated font of clear concise easily understood information as to make them as near to indispensible.

One has to question the wisdom of the people who would make such a decision?

Thanks for asking about Technobuddy.

For the time being, we are offering Bill Husted’s column in our Sunday print edition only.

The editors are continually evaluating the types of news and information the AJC offers in print and/or online, and so your feedback is appreciated.
