The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is pleased to announce that Natalie Mendenhall will be joining the newsroom as an audio producer with a focus on politics coverage.
“This is an important moment in our democracy and I’m glad to have a front seat reporting on history,” said Mendenhall, who previously worked as the senior producer for the show Political Rewind for Georgia Public Broadcasting. She also was a producer for Georgia in Play.
Mendenhall graduated from Wellesley College and the Chicago native has produced important television stories ranging from the recovery after Hurricane Irma to the Milwaukee Bucks winning an NBA championship.
“Natalie played a pivotal role in producing thoughtful and engaging radio programming with [AJC Lead Reporter] Bill Nigut for years,” said Rodney Gibbs, the AJC’s senior director of strategy and innovation. “We’re thrilled for her to bring her experience to Politically Georgia as we expand it into a daily radio show.”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the leading journalism organization in the Southeast, focuses its reporting staff on local matters and closely monitors state and local governments, the local economy, entertainment and sports.

The newspaper traces its roots to 1868, the founding date of The Atlanta Constitution. The Atlanta Journal debuted in 1883. The papers have been under common ownership since 1950 and fully merged in 2001. The newspaper is owned by Cox Enterprises, a family-owned company that has been in Atlanta since 1939.
