The Chattanooga Times Free Press is a daily broadsheet newspaper published in Chattanooga, Tennessee by Tom Griscom and is distributed in the metro Chattanooga region. It is one of Tennessee's major newspapers.
History
The paper was created in the late 1990s following the merger of the Chattanooga Times and the Chattanooga News-Free Press. The Times was once owned by Adolph Ochs, who also owned The New York Times, and was controlled by his decedents until 1999, when it was acquired by Walter E. Hussman, Jr., who had bought the Chattanooga News-Free Press the previous year. The merged newspaper is owned by WEHCO Media, Inc.[2]
The Times Free Press is unusual among U.S. newspapers in that it runs two editorial pages, one leaning liberal, the other leaning conservative, reflecting the editorial leanings of the previous standalone Times and Free Press.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press had its 10th Anniversary in January 2009. The newspaper has subscribers in Chattanooga, Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia. The North Georgia front page is different from Chattanooga's front page.
