About and Contact
KnoxTNToday.com was launched May 1, 2017, by Sandra Clark, Shannon Carey and others who previously worked at Shopper News in Knoxville, TN. The website is supported by seven strategic partners, dozens of community partners and direct mail.
We tell stories (mostly true), don’t like paywalls or pop-ups, and promote projects to build communities. We’re hyper-local, professional journalists who write for food (and fun).
Strategic Partners: We share logo links and guarantee category exclusivity.
Community Partners: We offer up to 10 logo links on each community-based microsite: Farragut, Fountain City, Halls, Powell, with more to come. When built out, each will have a community coordinator. For now, contact Sandra Clark or Shannon Carey for questions/comments.
Direct Mail: We launched with mailers to Powell ZIP code 37849 (May 24); Halls ZIP code 37938 (June 28); and Fountain City ZIP code 37918, Inskip ZIP code 37912; and South Knox ZIP code 37920 (Aug. 16).
