  Nashville Banner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nashville Banner was a daily newspaper of Nashville, Tennessee which ceased publication in 1998.
However, the Banner began to suffer in the post-World War II era from the slow loss of readership that became common to most U.S. evening papers, which was largely attributed to the rise of television.
In the early 1970s the Stahlmans sold the Banner to the Gannett Co. Gannett published it for several years, but in 1979 announced that it was selling the Banner back to local owners and assuming publication of the Tennessean.

If media organizations are "tools of white supremacists," as several speakers charged during Fisk University's recent conference on race relations, it's hard to explain the panderingcoverage the conference received last week in the local press.

But the Banner's lead editorial Friday afternoon praised the conference for attracting "the brightest, most forward looking experts of the day" and predicted that the conference would help "mend our nation's racial rift." The Banner said Clinton should study the conference's recommendations "with the same intensity that went into formulating them."
