The Nashville Banner is a locally owned, community supported civic news organization. We exist to empower the citizens of Nashville and Tennessee to make informed decisions by providing non-partisan journalism from an independent, nonprofit newsroom. We are digital-first, with no paywall for our stories because we believe everyone should have access to news. The Banner is a direct response to the decline of public service journalism in Tennessee.
