Kyle Wingfield At The New Atlanta Journal-Constitution

William Katz writes some very kind words about the conservative voice of Kyle Wingfield, now writing on the opinion page of the newly revised Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC). Wingfield comes to his new assignment from the Wall Street Journal. This news should be fresh air for those who appreciate first-class writers.

The AJC reported a 20% drop in first quarter circulation, a decline it must stop if the print edition is to survive. Wingfield's byline should attract more readers, but the paper's long-term success will require more aggressive changes. This is a challenging time for newspapers everywhere. I hope they can find a profitable niche in the new information world.
