The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and Nashville International Airport announced an intent to rename Nashville International Airport, also known as BNA, in honor of Dolly Parton. Lee’s proposal came after Parton, a Tennessee-born country music star, died Tuesday of cancer at age 80. The move follows an online petition that drew more than 150,000 signatures urging the airport to take Parton’s name. Lee said he discussed the proposal with Parton’s team this week, and her representatives expressed appreciation and openness to the idea.
