If you’d like to read more about the paper’s decision to switch to a subscription plan, read a letter from editor Jack McElroy.

What if you’re an avid reader but aren’t in a position to subscribe just yet? Some stories will remain free, and many stories will be free for a limited time before they are available only for subscribers. Following me on the various social media networks listed below is still a good way to keep up to date on Tennessee news. I’ll always let you know  whether links to content are free or available only to premium subscribers ($).

For now, at least, there will be no changes to this blog. Consider signing up to receive e-mail notifications when the blog is updated. Just use the module on the right side of this page.

UPDATE: I fixed the links! Sorry about that.
