Filling the Information Gap
Nashville was born out of a realization that the internet landscape lacked a dedicated, locally focused news source for Nashville. While national media captured the headlines, the unique stories and local voices of Nashville were often left untold. We set out to change that by creating a platform that celebrates the culture, history, and people that make Nashville the vibrant city it is today.
