The Marion Tribune is thrilled to celebrate its one-year anniversary, expressing gratitude for the tremendous support and positive feedback from the community. With over 600 subscribers, the Tribune continues to grow and serve the county by keeping residents informed about local news and events.
In the past year, the Tribune has featured numerous local businesses, covered countless events and community celebrations, and reported on significant city and county news. Notable stories from 2023 include the South Pittsburg Championship game, Sequatchie Valley being named to the National Scenic Byway list, and the coverage of the County Powers Act (CPA) versus the Tinsley Sand Plant controversy. During the initial five months, the paper covered holiday celebrations, local entertainment, and area updates across the county.
Since the beginning of 2024, the Tribune has supported the community with its “Welcome to Marion” magazine, providing new and current residents with an easy-to-access informational list of businesses and resources. Other significant coverages include the annual Cornbread Festival, the Marion County School District’s 2024 graduations, and numerous students signing to colleges and work internship programs. Additionally, the Tribune reported on seasonal activities for spring and summer, as well as the extreme weather and snowfall in January that brought the area to a standstill for weeks.
Looking ahead, The Marion Tribune aims to continue growing and covering all the essential news and events that residents need to know about, ensuring it remains a vital part of the community for years to come.
