Sun Closes Howard Bureau

This follows a similar move by WaPo.

Sun Editor J. Montgomery “Monty” Cook announced the moves in a staff meeting Thursday afternoon, said Brent Jones, a Sun reporter and a unit chair with the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild.

Cook and a Sun spokeswoman did not return messages seeking comment.

The Sun is ending lease agreements for its office space in Anne Arundel, Howard and Baltimore counties, Jones said. About 15 reporters and editors will move into the newspaper’s downtown office and will continue to cover their suburban beats, he said.
