New weekly print edition

Community ‘good’ news is our focus

Welcome to the first edition of the Midtown Weekly.

What is t he Midtown Weekly you ask?

Let me explain the basic concept behind what we do.

The Midtown Weekly is published Thursday’s and distributed to every household in Midtown. We also have rack locations throughout the area where you can pick up the free publication.

The Weekly is filled with stories and photographs about the neighborhood you live in. We also include the best community-based stories, features and sports content that have recently been published in The Commercial Appeal, and we often include premium content from our website, commercialappeal.com.

We try to focus on the people, local businesses, schools, churches and nonprofit and community orga ni zations based in your community.

That does not mean we only recently began covering your community. The Commercial Appeal’s reporters and photographers have been covering the news in Memphis since 1841.

Here’s how you can help. Did you have an event you want to share? Tell us about it! Send us your photos and stories about that event and we’ll gladly include those in the Midtown Weekly.

We also welcome your feedback and ideas. You’ll find our contact box on Page 2. We look forward to hearing from you.
