Photos: Atlanta Daily World and the Scott family
The Atlanta Daily World, for decades a cornerstone of the city's African-American culture, no longer employs any local reporters. The newspaper was sold two years ago this month to out-of-town interests by the founding Scott family. Now, publisher Alexis Scott has left, severing the final familial tie to founder W.A. Scott II, who launched the publication in 1928.

They are (from left) Emel Julius, Aurelius Southall, Lewis Augustus, William Alexander II, Cornelius Adolphous (C.A.), and Daniel Marcellus. The first generation of Atlanta Daily World Scotts also included three daughters. Emmeline Southhall Scott worked for the paper for years and actually introduced her sons to printing.
