When the Chattanooga Times merged with the Chattanooga News-Free Press (yes, really), Chattanooga lost something.
Enter Chattarati: "... communal narcissism for the scenic city." Looks like a decent attempt to bring back... well... if not journalism, something, in Chattanooga.

Yeah, buy tom kunesh a beer sometime and ask him about the ad space versus news conundrum that the publishers of "City Beat" faced way back when.

Thank you Dan for the link and comment. It's a bunch of us who have been around the blogging and alt-weekly scene this decade. We have a bunch of interesting interviews and ideas in the queue. We want to be a little more "open" and extended than the local news, who honestly have to worry more about ad space than providing news.
