New online magazine to continue ETSU s Appalachian literary tradition | Entertainment

The East Tennessee State University Appalachian Studies program is set to launch an online magazine later this spring. Appalachian Places will continue the program’s long literary tradition of highlighting the people, places, issues and themes relating to the Appalachian region. The new magazine will help continue that tradition by following the example of its print-version forerunner, Now & Then magazine, which, with the exception of a two-year hiatus in the early 2000s, ran from 1984 until it ceased publication in 2017. “For nearly 30 years, the ETSU Appalachian Studies program published a high-quality print magazine devoted to our region,” said Dr. Ron Roach, chair of Appalachian Studies and director of the Center of Excellence for Appalachian Studies and Services. “After much planning and preparation, I am so pleased that we are preparing to launch a new, digital publication that will continue this part of our mission.”
