      <![CDATA[Speaking of Chamber orchestras, and I usually am, the Business section of the April 18 Tennessean carried a story headlined "Chamber to tout city as hip, high-tech place."<br>
<br>
This explains a lot. Word comes down to lowly reporter: "Get out there and find something hip."

      <![CDATA[The commenter a couple posts back nailed it: this hipster article in the Tennessean is unintentionally hilarious. For starters, the "hipster" word is beyond overused to the point of banality and 2nd, it's pointing out things that aren't relevant or even accurate.

      <![CDATA[Stella, that was one of the first things I noticed about The Tennessean after moving back here in 2002: no sense of humor. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution would have some fun and let opposing writers have some fun even in the midst of disagreement.

      <![CDATA[The Tennessean is humorless, self-important, boring, devoid of substance or any sense of what is actually news, focus-grouped to death, too skinny both side to side and in page count. And Ms Fisher is exactly the same, except for the skinny part.

      <![CDATA[I don't have a problem with the hipster article, per se.<br>
<br>
What I do have a problem with, Deborah, is that despite your pride in the paper's journalism, it is a shadow of its former self, and it was never that stellar to begin with, despite some bursts of good investigative work. That's true of most newspapers these days, but the T seems to go out of its way sometimes to be a newspaper parody rather than a newspaper.

      <![CDATA[Jonathan, Your disdain for an entertaining story about "hipsters" in Nashville is fair game, but I think your conclusion about The Tennnessean being atrophied and withered is far from correct. It's off-base and proven wrong every single week by the journalists in our newsroom.
