Capital Gazette

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Capital Gazette Communications owned by Tribune Publishing through its subsidiary the Baltimore Sun Media Group, publishes the daily The Capital and the twice-weekly Maryland Gazette newspapers and the weeklies Bowie Blade-News and Crofton-West County Gazette. Its offices in Parole, Maryland, an unincorporated area of Anne Arundel County just outside Annapolis, were the site of the Capital Gazette shooting in June 2018.[1][2] In August 2020, Tribune Publishing announced it was permanently closing the newsroom and would provide workspace as needed at The Baltimore Sun offices.[3] In 2024, The Baltimore Sun was acquired by David Smith, the executive chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBGI).[4]
