The ChattAANooga Pulse
A couple of weeks ago, on our third attempt, our paper was one of five (out of 19) papers admitted into the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies.
The panel's recommendation reads as follows:
The Pulse
7 yes; 3 no
This paper is much improved from last year. "The local election coverage is remarkably hip, droll, and insightful," said one committee member. High marks for its sense of humor -- funny without being sophomoric. "This paper now has an identity and a level of maturity that puts it in a position to join AAN." There were some stumbling points but nothing significant enough to keep the committee from withholding its recommendation.
To all Pulsers past and present, as well as our supporters and dissenters, I offer a sincere "thank you." To have started this paper from scratch less than four years ago, and now be recognized at the table with papers we've long admired is a tremendous honor. We will strive to do all we can to build upon this validation, challenging both ourselves and our readers as we go.
