Headquarters is the basement of Mt. Olive Baptist Church on East 9th Street. Mailing address below. We answer the phone Tuesday through Saturday, 9 AM to 7 PM Eastern.
Theodore reads his own email. So does Renee. The phone is answered by a person, not a recording, six days a week. If you write outside business hours, you will hear back the next morning. If you are a reporter on deadline, mark the subject line URGENT and we will call within the hour.
For anything that does not fit a staff inbox, write to hello@aldridgeforschools.org. It lands on three of our laptops at once.
Same-day response before 5 PM ET. Available to Tennessee press on weekends.
For event invitations, candidate forums, and editorial board requests. Two-week lead time appreciated.
Door-knocks Tuesdays 5:30 PM and Saturdays 9 AM. Phone-banks Wednesdays 6 PM. We always need help.
For elected officials, organizations, and clergy who want to endorse. Individual neighbor endorsements via the public form.
One of us reads it within a day. We route to whoever should answer, and we copy you so you know who has it. If you wrote about a kid in a Hamilton County school, Theodore reads it personally.
