It was widely reported that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was cutting its classical music position. But critic Pierre Ruhe’s job was never in danger, says Hank Klibanoff, the paper’s managing editor. The AJC recently cut staff through buyouts, Klibanoff said, and then the paper’s management decided staffers would have to reapply for existing jobs. That means technically Ruhe could have been replaced. But as Klibanoff told me: “I love Pierre’s criticism and I love Pierre and there was no interest in changing that job.”
