Clay Bailey
Clay Bailey, a lifelong Memphian, has worked as a reporter in the city four decades. He concentrated on suburban coverage for the bulk of his career, except for a stint as sports editor of The Daily Memphian when it launched in September 2018. He now is suburban editor and also serves as a freelance sports writer for The Associated Press.
Bo Mills is retiring next spring as Germantown’s public works director, and the suburb has honored him by attaching his name to one of the tallest structures in the city.
