Examiner To Close

WaPo reports the Baltimore Examiner is closing up shop, which means we lose another source of news.

It's been obvious the paper's been in decline for a while -- the Howard coverage initially showed promise and then all but disappeared. We never could figure out why the paper would appear at the end of the driveway one day and not the next four.

Nevertheless, given the anemic state of Howard reportage these days, the loss will be felt by the Columbia Talk team.
