Who is M. Alexis?

M. Alexis Scott has a long career as a newspaper journalist, executive, and visionary community leader. After nearly 17 years as publisher of the Atlanta Daily World, a newspaper founded by her grandfather in 1928, she was part of the executive team that opened the Center for
Civil and Human Rights in downtown Atlanta in 2014.

There, as vice president of membership, she developed and implemented The Center’s membership program, as well as assisted with other fundraising duties. Before joining the team at The Center, her responsibilities at the Atlanta Daily World included management of its overall business operations and news content.

In addition, she wrote a regular column. In 2012, the paper became part of the Real Times Media family of publications joining the Chicago Defender, The Michigan Chronicle, The Pittsburgh Courier, and the Memphis Tri-State Defender.

Before taking the helm of her family’s newspaper, Ms. Scott had a 22-year career with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Cox Enterprises, Inc., where she worked her way up from reporter to vice president/community affairs at the AJC, and director of diversity at Cox.

She is also a political commentator on the Georgia Gang, a week-in-review program broadcast Sundays on FOX 5 Atlanta. She has appeared regularly since 2002. Ms. Scott continues to be involved in the community with service on several boards: (Chair of) AIB (Atlanta Interfaith Broadcasters) Network, (Immediate-Past-Chair of) the Historic South-View Preservation Foundation, (Executive Committee of) the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, High Museum of Art, and the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival.

Ms. Scott has received many awards and honors, including induction into three Halls of Fame: The Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University, The Atlanta Press Club, and The Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau. She has been a lifelong member of the First Congregational Church, UCC, where she was president of the congregation for 10 years and a Sunday School teacher for some 30 years. She is currently writing a memoir, including her family’s newspaper story, “My Part of the World,” and has co-written a screenplay, “Beech Tree Forest,” based on her father’s Army experiences during World War II.
