Update: 2025-10-01
Description
Seven years ago, a new startup began in Memphis to bring people local news. Staffed by longtime local journalists, The Daily Memphian began September 17, 2018, with morning and afternoon emails and a design that felt very reminiscent of a physical newspaper — but there was no actual print component. Today, editorial director Mary Cashiola and CEO Eric Barnes talk about the past seven years, why the site is a nonprofit and if print will ever make a comeback.
