The Nashville Maroon exists to make Nashville's civic life legible to the Black communities most affected by it — through investigative reporting, automated meeting summaries, and rigorous accountability journalism.
What we cover
- Metro Council, Planning Commission, and School Board decisions that shape Nashville.
- Housing, education, policing, and economic development — with a Black Nashville lens.
- Local businesses, civic figures, and the institutions that move power in our city.
How we work
Our journalism is reader-supported. We publish under transparent editorial standards (see policy) and disclose every relationship between our reporting and our funding. Sponsored content is clearly marked and held to the sponsorship policy.
