Chip, I work for Lawson McGhee Library and I'm not sure if they still keep the newspaper files at the library or they have changed that and moved them to the East Tennessee Historical Center. I work in business office and I know that they have the periodical section on the 3rd floor now, where as that section along with the newspaper archives were on the first floor before. I know alot of the historical stuff, including the old city directories and such are not housed in the library any longer and are exclusively housed in the Historical Center. The library has simply run out of space and thus alot of things dealing with genealogy or Knoxville history that is not a book is now in the Historical Center. The two newspapers that merged to become what is now the News Sentinel is the Knoxville News and the Knoxville Sentinel. We also, up until about a decade ago also had the Knoxville Journel, which was first the morning paper and in the last years of its existence was the evening paper. The Sentinel and the Journel were the two papers that Knoxville had, for many decades, and all through my lifetime, until the Journel folded in the 80's.
