Scott Burkett did a good post on the Atlanta Business Chronicle today in which he talked about how Justin Rubner has left the ABC and there are no plans on replacing him. I heard about this as possible a few weeks ago but it looks like Scott has outside confirmation. The funniest comment though comes from Stephen Fleming:
Q: Does the Atlanta Business Chronicle care?
A: No.See, wasn’t that simple?
Honestly, I don’t really care if the ABC continues to report ion startups. In my opinion, a weekly newspaper can’t really report fast moving news of startups effectively. Granted the reason why they decided not to cover this area of news probably has more to do with advertising dollars than journalistic effectiveness. If you talk to anyone who has started their company in the last year or two, they’ll likely not have even heard of the Atlanta Business Chronicle but they sure have heard of TechCrunch or Mashable or Read Write Web. Of course, if you haven’t heard of these sites, you just might be an Internet dinosaur.
