The Fight Begins Tomorrow

Tomorrow, the Baltimore Examiner launches its daily operations. I have added the Examiner to the list of news links on the right hand side of the page. And it could not come a moment too soon.

The truth is that The Sun has been unopposed in this one-daily town since the News-American went out of business twenty years ago. Since then, what have we seen? A slowly declining paper that has strayed so far from its journalistic course that it now openly cheerleads to Democratic measures and Democratic lawmakers.

Will the Examiner change that? Probably not. But competition of any sort is good for the people of the Baltimore metropolitan area. We all should wish the Examiner well, welcome them with open arms, and be sure to check out the new kid on the block. The fight for the Baltimore newspaper market begins tomorrow...
