Let's hope this ain't catching
Talk about a double whammy! Two reporters resigned today, and I can't even get mad about it because they are both pursuing their passions.
Alexis Gines, a general assignment reporter in High Point, is going to teach English at Dudley High School. Alexis interned with us during her summer break at UNC and joined us full time after graduation in 2004. She's been tutoring, likes working with young people -- in my world, she's pretty young herself -- and loves English.
Marta Hummel, a business reporter, is going to be the assistant editorial page editor at the Baltimore Examiner, a Monday-Saturday free tab. Marta also joined us in 2004 from the New York Sun. Marta has had editorial writing in her blood for long before she joined us, and now she'll really get to throw her weight around.
Both have been great contributors to the paper and, particularly in Biz Buzzard Marta Hummel's case, to our online expansion.

Well John you know how it is in this business -- reporters come and go, sometimes three at a time :) But don't worry ... I'm preparing the next generation of reporters for you. They'll be looking for jobs in about three years :)
