MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN MARYLAND
Founded in the colonial era, the regional press tradition features a distinct split between dense metropolitan dailies and rural coastal publications. Leading the market is the Baltimore Sun, a major daily founded in 1837 that recently transitioned to local ownership after years under Tribune Publishing. Other significant publications include the Annapolis-based Capital, currently operated by Alden Global Capital, and the Gannett-owned Daily Times serving the Eastern Shore in Salisbury. The area also supports a deeply rooted specialty press, highlighted by the Baltimore Afro-American, one of the longest-running family-owned Black newspapers in the country, alongside the Baltimore Jewish Times.
