The Tennessee legislature is back in session, which means plenty of news is on the way — but where should you get it, and who’s telling the truth? 

Today, we’re revisiting a conversation between Grace Fuisz and Holly McCall, editor of the nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization Tennessee Lookout. Together, they provide a guide to Nashville’s local media landscape, covering when and how to fact-check, the importance of healthy skepticism, and where to find unbiased, nonpartisan information. 

**This episode originally aired September 11th, 2024
