We’re sad to let you know that Rachael Flora is leaving The Savannahian, after nearly four years of incredible journalism and leadership.

We started this together at a time when we all knew that independent local news was more important than ever, and we bonded over a shared desire to provide that to our community. We also knew it was an important moment for launching a woman-led and disabled-led publication that could give a platform to Savannahians who perhaps never had one before.

Since that time, Rachael has—largely on her own—taken on the role of managing our large and ever-growing group of writers. To say she has done a stellar job would be a true understatement.

Rachael let us know that she feels it’s time for her to move on and pursue other things, and we’re sad to see her go but excited for whatever she has in store for the future. We remain friends and are truly grateful to all be moving into this next phase on great terms.

We (Jim and Sean) will be continuing full steam ahead and are excited about the future of The Savannahian. Thank you for the support and we’re looking forward to all that is to come.

-Jim Morekis and Sean Kelly

Tomorrow, we turn three! 🎉 Our publication's very first issue came out on November 23, 2020. What a ride it's been since then! We've more than doubled our weekly content, expanded our freelance roster to include more than 30 talented writers, and have stayed true to our mission along the way. As we prepare for Thanksgiving tomorrow, we wanted to thank you today—we'd be nowhere without our readers and supporters. Cheers to the next three years! 🥂

'Mind-numbingly ambitious' show celebrates music of The Traveling Wilburys with unprecedented cast of local all-stars The goal of the Thanksgiving Eve show is not only to highlight the diversity and range of Savannah’s musicians, but to try and create the feel of The Traveling Wilburys planned world tour – which poignantly never took place.
