Welcome to Nooga.com, a brand new online news site providing the Chattanooga area with thoughtful, accurate and reliable news. We intend to provide Chattanoogans a platform to engage in intelligent, civil discourse.
As the headline of this introductory editorial states, this is just the beginning for Nooga.com, which will be ever-evolving as we add new features and functionality.
We have invested in a staff of committed, professional reporters and editors. The team will initially focus on covering local business, politics and the community at large.
Chattanooga is blessed with a talented, professional journalistic community, including our peers at the Chattanooga Times Free Press and Chattanoogan.com, along with all other local media outlets. As we grow in audience and scope, we look forward to building on this rich legacy.
While media critics cite difficult times ahead for traditional news models, we believe the future of journalism, if approached from a fresh and prudent perspective, is bright. We look forward to being part of that future.
As the publisher and editor in chief of this news outlet, I look forward to the opportunities and challenges ahead.
