Our mission: To be the most essential and compelling news resource for the people of Maryland. We inform, strengthen, and inspire the communities we serve by providing trusted journalism that tells people’s stories, holds leaders accountable, and delivers a wide range of local news that readers and partners are eager to support.

Whether the news is happening downtown or in the surrounding counties, we’ve got it covered — because we believe that strong local news is essential to a strong community. And we’re committed to being a resource that locals trust to keep them informed about the world that’s closest to home.

When our city knows more, we can become more.
