The Tennessean is a major newspaper in Nashville, Tennessee. It’s also the flagship of the USA Today Network South. Like many mainstream newspapers, The Tennessean has primarily served a white audience even though Nashville’s population is 24 percent Black.

In the latest Better News podcast, opinion columnist LeBron Hill talks to host Michael O'Connell about the report he wrote for the American Press Institute's Better News Initiative about and how the Tennessean is successfully engaging Black audiences with its Black Tennessee Voices project.
