The journalists and staff behind a new independent newspaper in Knoxville unveiled their publication Thursday.
It's
called the Knoxville Mercury and it is hoping to fill the void left
after the Metro Pulse staff was fired. Some of the editorial staff and
the free lance writers from the Metro Pulse will work at the
publication.
You can find more on our site RIGHT SMACK HERE. Or over on the hippie's site RIGHT HERE and HERE.
Columbia Journalism Review also wrote extensively about the Mercury over HERE.
Although the ol' Porch wishes both publications well, I suspect neither will be around in two years.
There's a reason newspapers are dying. And I seriously doubt these new start-ups have found the magic bullet. But whatever.
Good luck regardless. I hope I'm wrong.
