Hi, I'm Malcolm Key,

I am a journalist, radio host and Communication Major at University of Tennessee Chattanooga. Passionate about learning and sharing truths of the human experience and culture through audio journalism, radio production, photography, to highlight the overlooked, shine light on the forgotten, and share something new with the local, national, and global community.

Boneyard House Band

Live in The Library is a collaboration between WUTC and the Chattanooga Public Library to have musicians come from far and wide and share their stories. The Boneyard house band performed at the library on February 4, 2026, where they also shared their stories as a group. I documented their performance. 

No Kings Protest

Miller Plaza is the location of many gatherings, events, and festivals alike in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The global No Kings protests are no exception to this. On February 2, 2026, members of the community protested on the corner of Miller Plaza. The crowd encouraged passersby to honk in solidarity.
