Ownership change
Recently the Chattanooga Times - Free Press (TFP) changed ownership, and with it a change in perspective. Previously the TFP offered a full range of opinions, news sources, with national and international reporting.
The new local owners have magazine publishing experience of certain high-end activities. Initially they stated that the new TFP would concern itself with local news and reporting. There would also be less coverage of international news. The stated goal would be more advertising revenue to support this new TFP. The new owners dropped NYTimes reporting and other independent media.
At this point, reviews are mixed, but hopefully not too slanted one way or the other.

Too liberal
As a lifelong Chattanooga resident, taking the paper was required reading. I had to “keep up” with the happenings in town. But in this now hyper-partisan world we live in, every media source I read is scrutinized for bias as I think there’s always a psyop operation at work. The Times Free Press is certainly in that category. The paper is, for the most part, a mashup of AP stories that I’ve already read and for the ones that are locally generated by journalists, very liberal in their slant. Bottom line is: the value is not there, so I cancelled my subscription.
