WHO READS THE KNOXVILLE EDIT
The Knoxville Edit is a free newsletter that lands in inboxes Tuesday and Saturday mornings. Our readers are Knoxville locals who want to know what’s actually happening — events, restaurant openings, weekend plans, and the small stuff most outlets miss.
We write for people who:
Live in Knoxville and care about supporting independent local businesses.
Are new to town and figuring out their go-to spots.
Want a curated, scannable read in under 5 minutes.
