 | | Conley, 38, also owns and operates Cardinal Construction, a Knoxville general contractor, and Cardinal Management, which owns several downtown buildings, including the one housing the business office of the Pulse. |
 | | He admits the Pulse “hasn’t exactly knocked ‘em dead” as a business venture over the years, but it has grown from fewer than 10 employees in 1992 to 22 currently, and has doubled its circulation to 30,000, with what he feels is a sizable editorial budget for a small alternative newsweekly. |
 | | Conley says he does not intend to make any staff changes at this time, except to add a salesperson, nor does he foresee any major redesign or content shift soon. |
