Baltimore Fishbowl is a news and lifestyle website dedicated to reporting news about Baltimore, Maryland and the surrounding region..[1][2]. Publisher Susan Gerardo Dunn founded Baltimore Fishbowl in 2011.[3] Dunn previously founded the shopping magazine Paper Doll, which she sold to Alter Communications in 2006.

In 2019, Baltimore Fishbowl brought on new investors to grow the website, including former Howard County executive Ken Ulman; former Baltimore Sun reporter David Nitkin; and food, arts, and travel writer Karen Nitkin, who is married to David Nitkin.[4][5]

Baltimore Fishbowl publishes online daily Monday through Friday with news and features articles about state and local governments, businesses, real estate, events and people. The website is also home to several columns, including Hot Plate, the restaurant column; Hot House, the real estate column; Baltimore Writers Club, featuring Q&A interviews with local writers; Baltimost, a feature series that asks locals what they love about Baltimore City; Big Fish, a column highlighting notable individuals in Baltimore; a weekend events listing; and Bohemian Rhapsody, featuring essays by author Marion Winik.

Baltimore Magazine named Baltimore Fishbowl the "Best New Website" in Baltimore in 2012[6]

In December 2018, Baltimore Fishbowl published an investigation that found Black Baltimore residents were continuing to be disproportionately arrested for cannabis possession after decriminalization[7]. That article, published in collaboration with the Baltimore Institute for Nonprofit Journalism, was recognized in Baltimore Magazine's 2019 "Best of Baltimore" list[8]. The article was also widely discussed on other news websites and programs, including Associated Press[9], WYPR[10], The Root[11], CityLab[12], and a Baltimore Sun editorial[13]

Baltimore Fishbowl holds multiple awards from the Maryland, Delaware and DC (MDDC) Press Association.[14]
