AJC will have a new (old) Hawks Beat Writer next season

Read on Twitter


That officially comes to an end today.

After five seasons covering the Hawks (and two years before covering the Thrashers until they left town), I am returning to my roots as an editor at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I will have digital responsibilities as well as the industry continues to move forward and I will play a role in that.

I have been around for two ownerships groups, two head coaches and three general managers in my limited time. One journalist friend introduced me last month as the “competent” beat writer for the Atlanta Hawks. I hope I was just that. I’ve tried to present information as accurately, fairly and quickly as possible. I pride myself on that track record.

I would like to thank you the reader for following my reporting and writing. You are the reason I did it all, the reason we do it all. That will continue. Michael Cunningham will return to the duties as Hawks beat writer. He’s a seasoned professional and will lead the AJC’s top-notch coverage of the Hawks.



C-Viv was not my favorite. But he improved over time and I wish him well.

(Michael Cunningham is still the standard bearer in my eyes, though Sekou's signature style is still missed. Is this a demotion for M Cunningham?)

Ignore my question in the other thread. LOL. AJC never hires anyone anymore. They just ask the current staff to do more.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
