Huge swaths of the country have turned into ‘news deserts’, lacking credible journalism. I fear for the Baltimore Sun
Paul Moore vividly remembers the Baltimore Sun in its heyday, not so long ago.
“More than 400 newsroom staff, six foreign bureaus and a 12-person Washington bureau,” Moore recalled. He was the Sun’s deputy managing editor (and, for a time, its public editor) until 2009. “We were a full-service newspaper, covering the country, the region and the world.” And winning multiple Pulitzer Prizes for the quality of its aggressive, ambitious journalism.
