Talbot takes new post

An award-winning newspaper reporter and co-founder of a group that publishes a book on aerospace activities in the Gulf Coast region will become spokesman for Mobile's new mayor Nov. 4. George Talbot, a former business reporter for the Mobile Press-Register and currently lead state and national political reporter for al.com and Alabama Media Group, will become Mayor-elect Sandy Stimpson's director of communications and external affairs. As a co-founder of Gulf Coast Reporters' League, Talbot helped develop the content for the aerospace book that covers a region between New Orleans and Northwest Florida. First published in 2011, the latest edition of Gulf Coast Aerospace Corridor was published in June 2013. (Source: GCRL, 10/23/13)
