Examiner to Close

The Maryland Daily Record just broke the news that the Baltimore Examiner will cease publication as of February 15th.

In an historically difficult time for newspapers, the ad-supported free tabloid, which launched in 2006, never really got on solid footing. I knew things were dire when the guys handing out the increasingly thin papers to drivers on President St. started stuffing two and three copies into drivers' hands: "Give one to a friend," they'd say.
