When the Nashville Scene ran a five-part
series skewering the Tennessean, the local
daily countered with a string of full-page, color ads
belittling the circulation figures of its alt-weekly
competitor. Tennessean Publisher Craig Moon
tells AJR that the Scene's take-out had nothing
to do with his decision to run the ads. The Scene
published its own ads in response and Editor/
Publisher Bruce Dobie warns darkly: "Never
pick on someone smaller than you."
