About Me
- Bill Hendrick
- Atlanta, Georgia, United States
- I'm a journalist, and have been since July 1971, which is when I started full-time, daily work. I worked for 29.7 years for The Atlanta Journal Constitution and eight years before that for The Associated Press in a number of states, winding up in Manhattan. Before earning a journalism degree I also worked at two weeklies, and after accepting a "voluntary" buyout in 2008 have written for many publications. So I’ve been at this a while. Awaiting publication of a book on mid-19th century newspapers. This blog also will be used to store random things that I find interesting, funny or sad, such as poems, studies, pictures, essays. I'm getting old and by glancing at this blog I will be able to remember what I would otherwise forget. Or what I have forgotten. You know.
The Atlanta Daily Intelligencer was Atlanta's first "successful" daily newspaper. It lasted until 1871, according to the late historian Franklin M. Garrett. I plan to dig through newspaper records at the Atlanta History Center. Might be interesting. Parts of it may live again - on the Web.
