The Knoxville News Sentinel Media Group, a division of Scripps, has purchased AAN member Metro Pulse, the News Sentinel reports. "Metro Pulse will keep their editorial and advertising independence. At some point in the future, we will be printing our new weekly product," News Sentinel publisher Bruce Hartmann says in a memo. "Brian Conley will remain as the publisher of Metro Pulse but will only be involved in the editorial direction of the paper."
