Newspapers

The Chattanooga Times Free Press http://www.timesfreepress.com is published each morning. The Times was once published by Adolphus Ochs who also operated the New York Times. (The two newspapers now have different ownership.) The Times, which for decades had been the morning paper and usually supported the Democratic Party, merged with the News Free Press in 1999. The News Free Press, whose somewhat unfortunate moniker was the result of an earlier merger, was an afternoon daily and their editorials generally supported the Republican Party. Though the two newspapers have merged, they maintain separate editorial pages. Usually, liberal editorials and cartoons can be found on the left-hand page, and conservative pieces can be found on the right-hand page.
