Mike Smith departs FW Publishing

After nearly three decades working at the Nashville Scene, president and publisher Mike Smith is resigning from FW Publishing — the parent company of the Scene, Nfocus, the Nashville Post and the Williamson Scene.

“I'm enormously proud of what we've built together,” says Smith. “The Nashville Scene, Nfocus, the Williamson Scene and the Nashville Post aren't just publications to me — they're a record of this city's conscience, told by people who actually show up to Metro Council meetings so the rest of us don't have to. We've grown events that turned readers into a community and turned a community into something that shows up for each other. That's not small. That's the whole point.”
