ForceEight Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Not as if it was all that unexpected. Or that it will be all that missed... BALTIMORE -- Less than three years after its launch as the city's second daily newspaper, The Baltimore Examiner is shutting down, a victim of slower-than-expected ad sales. Employees of the free tabloid were informed of the closure Thursday morning. The Examiner will publish its last issue on Sunday, Feb. 15. About 90 people will lose their jobs, said Jim Monaghan, a spokesman for Clarity Media Group, the paper's parent company. "We had good people there. We thought we had a good paper," Monaghan said. "It's a disappointment that it didn't work out." http://www.wbaltv.com/news/18595064/detail.html
thundercleetz Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I loved the Examiner. Me too. I could always rely on it to be there for me to read while eating my pancakes at IHOP. :lol:
dc. Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I was gonna say, what did we all love? The fact that there was some other bad writing, bad journalism out there?
