Photos: Atlanta Daily World and the Scott family
The Atlanta Daily World, for decades a cornerstone of the city's African-American culture, no longer employs any local reporters. The newspaper was sold two years ago this month to out-of-town interests by the founding Scott family. Now, publisher Alexis Scott has left, severing the final familial tie to founder W.A. Scott II, who launched the publication in 1928.
