I joined the @ajc 28 years ago to work for what I believed was the best newspaper in the country. Now, as we prepare to end our print edition on Jan. 1 and go fully digital, I had the honor of reflecting on that journey. @itsuatl

I've been a print newspaper reader for 40+ years & a journalist for 25. I've seen the ups and downs of the biz but also the incredible work that moves conversations, action and change. @ajc is making a tough decision, but it's also working to build its future on its own terms, for the sake of the journalism.

In the words of Kenny Loggins: This is it. I am officially retired. Computer turned in. Kept my ID badge. I will be turning this account back over to the AJC. It has been a blast. Peace.

In November 2023, we asked Coldplay fans to add their voices to a new song, ONE WORLD, by uploading themselves singing Ahhhhh for a few seconds.
Within a week, we had received 137,204 unique recordings, from 207 different countries / territories.
This cornucopia of voices was then brought together by the wizardry of Peter Chilvers to form a very special vocal arrangement on ONE WORLD, which you can hear at the end of our new album Moon Music.
Everyone who wished to be credited is included in the list at https://t.co/Bx2dnClCBI
137,204 thankyous to all of you who turned this dream into a stereophonic reality.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and California Suite won her Oscars, but this line reading from Downton Abbey made her iconic. RIP to the great Maggie Smith.
