Atlanta newspaper announces 50 job cuts across newsroom and business operations
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong announces on “The Daily Show” that he’s taking the Los Angeles Times public.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) announced Tuesday that it would be laying off newsroom employees along with other staff across the company, according to the outlet.
About 50 positions will be cut as part of the layoffs and roughly half are newsroom positions, according to the AJC, which is 15% of the paper’s total staff.
“We’ve made these difficult decisions because we believe they will best position us to continue to accelerate the AJC’s growth,” President and Publisher Andrew Morse said, according to the paper. “We have invested heavily in our editorial, product and business teams over the last three years, and we’ve seen direct results from that investment.”
The paper previously announced in August that it would be cutting jobs and scrapping its print edition starting in 2026, with the final issue scheduled for Dec. 31, 2025.

“As we grow, we must be agile and ensure we are devoting resources where they will have the most impact for our audience,” Morse said. “While these changes are difficult on a personal level, they will best position the AJC to continue delivering journalism worth paying for.”
The decision to eliminate the print paper resulted in the “elimination of about 30 full- and part-time jobs involved in designing and distributing the newspaper” as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution shifted to digital-only publishing.
Staffers were alerted on Tuesday that the AJC offices would be closed Wednesday, and it would be a remote workday.

Employees affected by the layoffs will be briefed in meetings on Wednesday and will receive severance packages, according to the paper.
Morse told the AJC that the paper’s owner, Cox Enterprises, believes the transformation to digital only will be beneficial in the long term.
“We are not taking our foot off the gas,” he said. “Cox remains deeply committed to the AJC, our team remains deeply committed to growth, and we will continue to invest in areas that are critical to the growth of our organization.”

Johnson & Johnson on Wednesday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its once-daily psoriasis pill, the first oral option to rival best-selling shots.
The FDA approved the pill, Icotyde, to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, an autoimmune condition that causes rough patches of skin. Patients typically start treatment with topical medications.
If those don’t work, they advance to pills or shots. J&J sees Icotyde becoming the first-line systematic treatment for psoriasis, in between topicals and shots.
Drugmakers have been developing more advanced medicines than standard topicals, turning psoriasis into a highly competitive space. Icotyde targets the same IL-23 receptor as best-selling shots like J&J’s Tremfya and AbbVie‘s Skyrizi, giving patients an oral alternative to some of the most advanced — and most expensive — drugs on the market.
“To be able to to be able to have something that is relatively simple, that offers that level of clearance, trusted safety profile, and in a simple pill, we think is going to be revolutionary,” said Jennifer Taubert, chairman of J&J Innovative Medicine.
J&J estimates about 8 million people in the U.S. have plaque psoriasis, and that 75% of people don’t advance from topicals to shots because of reasons like fearing needles. Taubert sees Icotyde appealing to those patients.
“We believe having the type of profile that Icotyde has in a simple, once-daily oral pill, we think it’s going to be an absolute game changer for patients,” Taubert said.
J&J hasn’t announced how much Icotyde will cost beyond saying the company will help people pay for the medicine. Rival shots Tremfya and Skyrizi cost around $100,000 a year.
J&J sees peak annual sales of Icotyde exceeding $5 billion once it’s approved for other autoimmune conditions. It’s testing the drug for psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
Shares of J&J slid one-quarter of a percent Wednesday while shares of Skyrizi-maker AbbVie fell more than 4%. Protagonist Therapeutics, a biotech company that developed Icotyde with J&J, was trading about flat.

Former Consul General of Israel in New York Ambassador Ido Aharoni joins ‘Mornings with Maria’ to break down Iran-Israel tensions, defend U.S.-Israeli strikes and warn Tehran’s regime is weakening.
Iran’s latest military escalation is backfiring on the global stage as new strikes and widening regional fallout expose what a former Israeli consul general in New York called a critical miscalculation by Tehran.
Ambassador Ido Aharoni, who served as consul general of Israel in New York, joined FOX Business’ “Mornings With Maria” on Wednesday to discuss the broader implications of Iran’s recent actions and the shifting dynamics across the Middle East.

“Iran made a terrible mistake attacking Cyprus, thus bringing in the European Union,” Aharoni told host Maria Bartiromo.
He said Iran’s decision to expand its targets is drawing in new international pressure and raising concerns far beyond the region.

“Iran is presenting a threat to the entire world,” Aharoni said.
Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., joins ‘Mornings with Maria’ to discuss US-Israel strikes on Iran, a top counterterror official’s resignation and rising security concerns amid the DHS shutdown and FISA debate.
The former consul general argued the U.S. and Israel’s ongoing military campaign is reshaping deterrence and exposing the regime’s vulnerabilities.
“For the first time since 1979, Iran is being punished for its motivation, for its ideology, not just for their actions… This sends a very powerful message throughout the region,” Aharoni said.
“This is how you restore deterrence… This is exactly what is being done.”
He said Iran’s long-term position is weakening as a result of Operation Epic Fury.
“They’re not going to be the same regional power that they were before or after this. It will take them decades to rebuild the infrastructure that was destroyed,” Aharoni explained.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., joins Maria Bartiromo to discuss recent Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iranian targets, including the killing of Iran’s intelligence minister.
Aharoni underscored that Iran’s actions are impacting its own population as instability grows.
“The Iranians are the number one victims of their own regime,” Aharoni said.
