The Macon Telegraph announces that it will reduce its print schedule to two editions per week. Beginning August 19, 2024, the newspaper will publish print editions on Wednesdays and Saturdays while focusing its reporting on online platforms at macon.com.
The Telegraph says it will move its business operations from 120 Broadway to about 15,000 square feet on the first floor of the former Bank of America building at 487 Cherry St. in downtown Macon. The move follows the newsroom’s relocation to Mercer Village the previous year.
McClatchy's Columbus Ledger-Enquirer ends printing of its sister newspaper, the Macon Telegraph, effective October 25, 2010. The Telegraph shifts printing to Gannett Offset's Atlanta presses. The move also means the loss of 20 production jobs.
Writers for the Macon Telegraph and News won a joint Pulitzer Prize for specialized reporting in 1985. Their reporting exposed advantages received by athletes at the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. The New Georgia Encyclopedia records the award as a joint prize for the newspapers’ writers.
