Knoxville Voice
''Knoxville Voice'' was a populist alternative newspaper in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was published every two weeks and available free of charge in more than 300 locations throughout Knox and Blount counties. The paper debuted on April 20, 2006 and ceased publication on January 8, 2009. The summer 2007 sale of Knoxville alternative weekly Metro Pulse to media conglomerate E.W. Scripps, owner of the daily ''Knoxville News Sentinel'', left the ''Knoxville Voice'' as the only major, general-interest independent alternative newspaper in Knoxville until it ceased publication.
== Origins and influences ==
The ''Knoxville Voice'' was originally an African American newspaper, also published in Knoxville and devoted to minority cultural and civil rights issues. The oldest surviving issue (dated November 19, 1949) "focused almost exclusively on national news stories pertinent to African Americans, with a greater emphasis on the work of the NAACP to obtain equal rights, providing a glimpse of the beginnings of the civil rights movement of the 1960s."〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Bobbie Morris, ''Knoxville Voice'' ): Copies of the two known surviving issues, dated 9/18/1948 and 11/19/49, are on display at the ''Knoxville Voice'' office downtown.〕
The paper continues an editorial tradition of alternative media that extends beyond Knoxville. The spectrum of influences runs from labor-run papers like the British ''Daily Herald'' to muckraking newsletters like ''I.F. Stone's Weekly''. Like its local, national, and international predecessors, ''Knoxville Voice'' practiced advocacy journalism, covering stories as they affect the public at large and filling gaps in reporting left by mainstream media. With most mainstream media outlets owned by a handful of multinational corporations, polls regularly report that nearly half the U.S. public has little or no "trust and confidence" in the mass media.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Gallup poll ): When asked, "In general, how much trust and confidence do you have in the mass media — such as newspapers, T.V. and radio — when it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately, and fairly," 37% answered "not very much" and 12% answered "none at all." The responses have been consistent for a decade.〕 ''Knoxville Voice'' is a reflection of such public attitudes embodied in its reporting and approach to news coverage.
