Nashville Banner

The ''Nashville Banner'' is a defunct daily newspaper of Nashville, Tennessee, United States, which published from April 10, 1876 until February 20, 1998. The ''Banner'' was published each Monday through Friday afternoon (as well as Saturdays until the 1990s and Sundays until 1937), and at one time carried as many as five editions.
It was long a voice of conservative viewpoints in contrast to its liberal morning counterpart, ''The Tennessean'', although these views were greatly moderated in the paper's twilight years.
==History==
The first edition of the ''Nashville Banner'' was published on April 10, 1876 as The ''Nashville Republican Banner'', and though it would drop the "Republican" early in its existence, its editorial agenda would resemble that of the political party for which it was initially named. It was begun as a voice for the railroads and other interests in comparison with other area papers of the time which tended to take the viewpoint of workers and unions. It was long controlled by Nashville's influential Stahlman family.
The ''Banner'' was an evening paper, which at one time published as many as five editions (first, second, market final, sports final, and sunset final), although these were later consolidated into three editions, and eventually, two. For many years it was in a superior financial condition to its competitors, and in fact, when the rival ''Tennessean'' went bankrupt and almost had to cease publication, the ''Banner'' assisted in its purchase by the ''Evans'' family, who saved it. The ''Tennessean'' and the ''Banner'' entered into what was one of the first joint operating agreements in the U.S. in 1937. Under this agreement, which became a common model for many other cities over the next half-century, the papers maintained editorial independence and remained separate as news-gathering organizations. However, they were printed on the same presses, distributed by a common agent, and had a consolidated classified advertising department. They were fierce competitors in the realm of news and ideas, but no longer business competitors in the truest sense.
This arrangement stood both papers in good stead for many years. However, the ''Banner'' began to suffer in the post-World War II era from the slow loss of readership that became common to most U.S. evening papers, which was largely attributed to the rise of television.
Though the two papers shared many vital resources, they were vastly different in their editorial agendas. One memorable instance of such differences occurred during the mid-1960s as the merits of Daylight Saving Time were being debated. The ''Tennessean''/''Banner'' offices, at the time, featured a dual-sided clock on the roof. One side had the ''Tennessean'' logo, the other had the ''Banners. Silliman Evans, Jr., owner of the ''Tennessean'', supported DST and set its clock accordingly during the summer hours, but the Stahlman family, who controlled the ''Banner'', opted to keep their side of the clock on standard time, causing confusion for the many drivers and pedestrians on busy Broadway.〔http://web.archive.org/web/19980523153958/http://www.nashvillebanner.com/〕
In the early 1970s the Stahlmans sold the ''Banner'' to the Gannett Co. Gannett published it for several years, but in 1979 announced that it was assuming publication of the ''Tennessean'' while selling the ''Banner'' back to local owners Irby C. Simpkins, Jr., Brownlee O. Currey, and John Jay Hooker (Hooker later sold his stake in the paper to Simpkins and Currey).
Although it took almost twenty years, this was the death knell for the ''Banner''. It was now clearly inferior in resources to its morning counterpart, and its circulation continued to shrink. In the 1980s Gannett insisted on renegotiation of the joint operating agreement to its benefit, and the ''Banner'' had little choice but to comply. Another reason for the weakness of the ''Banner'' was its lack of a Sunday edition comparable to the Tennessean's, which it had given up in the formation of the joint operating agreement. It had since always published on a six-day schedule, and as weekday papers, especially evening weekday papers, continued to decline, it did not have this profit center to draw upon. The ''Banner'' switched its Saturday edition for a while to a single, morning edition in direct competition with the ''Tennessean'', then announced that it was terminating its Saturday edition entirely.
During this time, the ''Banner'' began to take far more moderate positions on issues on its editorial pages, although it generally remained more conservative than the ''Tennessean'' in most areas. It was in the contradictory situation of probably becoming more respected by people, especially those in the journalism community, at the same time that it was becoming less read.
The ''Banner'' adopted several new technologies soon before its demise, including early online efforts such as the launch of a daily e-mail newsletter ("Nashville Banner Digest") in 1996, as usage of e-mail and the World Wide Web was becoming more common. It also built and maintained a website nearly a year before ''The Tennessean'', although only five months before the ''Banner'' went out of business. The ''Banner'' newsroom also became one of the nation's first to convert to the exclusive use of digital photography, completing the conversion just a few months before it ceased publication.〔
