I subscribe to our suburb’s paper partly out of principle and partly for the HS sports scores/stories. It’s also one of the few places left to find city council meeting minutes, legal notices, etc.
As for the Capital Gazette, I remember one of the reporters being on TV and telling us all that we’d (paraphrasing) “forget about them by tomorrow.” I remember thinking how absurd that sounded. Now I can’t believe how right she was.
The news cycle is an unforgiving beast, and the fact that only a few places have the resources to do in-depth reporting means most journalists are chasing their tails to survive.

Keep up the good work. Nell Rose
