Doug Franklin, a 30-year Cox veteran, is taking over as the new publisher of
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He will retain his post as executive vice president of Cox newspapers. Separately,
the Gannett-owned
Honolulu Advertiser is making changes to its format in an effort to cut costs. The paper is eliminating its TV book, folding its business section into its local news section
and eliminating the editorial page on Saturdays.
