Journalist Clayton Henkel is no longer working for the North Carolina News Network.

The former special projects reporter and producer of the weekend news magazine News & Views with Chris Fitzsimon was not offered a position with Curtis Media Group, which bought NCNN from Capitol Broadcasting last week.

Curtis Media CEO Don Curtis said the decision not to offer Henkel a job was not at all a reflection on her work.

"We only needed 12 employees and we had 13 people," he said.

Since Henkel was already working on other projects and was anchoring just a few broadcasts each week, she was the one person not extended an employment offer, he said.

Efforts to reach Henkel Thursday were not successful, but a representative from Capitol Broadcasting confirmed that she is no longer working for that network either.

DURHAM — The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin are filling a high-profile office in downtown Durham.

The personal injury firm announced today that it has agreed to lease about 50,000 square feet at Diamond View II, beyond the outfield of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park in the city's American Tobacco district.

The space is at least 25 percent more than what it leases at Imperial Center, off Interstate 40. The firm is expected to move out of most of its Imperial offices by the end of the year.

It's the latest in a string of companies moving from the outskirts of Durham to the city center. Last month, Burt's Bees, a maker of natural beauty products, moved from Keystone Park in Durham County to another American Tobacco building.

As part of the Farrin deal, the firm gets its name on Diamond View II, facing the hundreds of thousands of fans who visit the ballpark each year.

The 14-year lease fills the last big office vacancy at American Tobacco.
