“I am excited about this new role that will allow me to continue to invest in communities that I absolutely love,” Majors said. “ “Being a community journalist is something I embraced years ago, and I understand the importance community journalism plays in communities like Andalusia, Atmore and Brewton. I have had the opportunity to meet some of the best people from all walks of life in all three communities and hope to meet even more of you in the near future. We have a great group of folks working at our newspapers and will continue to give you the best coverage in our print and digital products of the things that are important to you.”
