Purpose

I wanted to create a linkable chart that focused on Knoxville (Tenn.) newspapers that are available online. I've also added other info about Knoxville area newspapers through the years.

Key

Notes

  • This list is current, to the best of my knowledge, as of April 27, 2022.
  • Several of the online sites are continuing to update their holdings.
  • The Google News archive is dormant.
  • Some titles, especially Brownlow's papers, frequently changed their names. I have not done a close study, but they could be considered the same paper.
  • Chart columns are sortable.
