MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN TENNESSEE
Print journalism across the Volunteer State is characterized by heavy consolidation among its major metropolitan dailies, alongside a historic split between eastern and western readerships. Gannett dominates these major markets, currently operating the Nashville Tennessean, the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and the Knoxville News Sentinel. In contrast, the Chattanooga Times Free Press remains under the regional ownership of WEHCO Media following a late 1990s merger of two competing dailies. Beyond the major hubs, the region sustains a historic African American press, notably represented by the Tri-State Defender in Memphis and the Black News Weekly in Chattanooga.
