NashvilleChatterClass is a subscription-based website that provides coverage of topics the mainstream media has abandoned – politics, business and the insider chatter of Nashville and Tennessee’s movers and shakers.
NashvilleChatterClass provides insider coverage of state and local politics, government, commercial real estate, media and business in Tennessee with a special focus on Nashville and the Middle Tennessee region.
The website was founded by veteran business reporter Richard Lawson.
Lawson is an award-winning journalist with a proven track record of creating specialized content that attracts readers and advertisers. He is generally considered the most knowledgeable and respected business journalist in Nashville. Through his nearly 18-year career in journalism, he often has been sought out as an expert because of his ability to gain knowledge and understanding of issues through a well-developed network of contacts.
Before journalism, Lawson was a legislative assistant for a Republican Congressman in Washington, D.C. From there, he entered journalism with trade publications in D.C. that focused on obtaining information that corporations and politicians needed for decision making.
In Nashville, Lawson has covered business, real estate, government and economic development for The Tennessean, The City Paper and the Nashville Business Journal.
