A list of 74 AJC employees who accepted the paper’s buyout offer was published this morning.

Not being an insider of any kind, many of these names are unfamiliar to me.  Luckily, Creative Loafing’s Scott Henry went through the list and gave us a rundown of what’s being lost.  In addition to nearly all the arts critics, DeKalb bureau chief Larry Conley and DeKalb reporter David Simpson are among those who accepted the buyout.

Henry also reports in his post of layoffs last week that have upset remaining staffers.

And in other “News About the News” news, the paper is moving Cynthia Tucker to D.C. to cover national politics.  Which makes me wonder, what happened to the focus on local?
