One Maryland community newspaper reveals it strategy to survive
“Maryland’s newspapers are not immune from the pressures facing all U.S.
papers, as once-strong publications teeter on the edge of bankruptcy,
trimming staff and operations or shutting down their presses completely.
In the past year, the state has seen the demise of two papers — The
Baltimore Examiner in February and The Dispatch in Emmitsburg and
Thurmont in November — while other publications slash workers,
eliminate editions and even trim the size of their pages to save money.”
