It is a sale that could have more effect on the politics of Anne Arundel County and the State House than the upcoming election.
The Capital and its sibling publications, the Bowie Blade and the Maryland Gazette, along with the daily Carroll County Times, have been for sale since 2008. Longtime publisher Phil Merrill, for whom the College of Journalism at College Park is named, died in 2006. After that Landmark Media Enterprises, which already owned 49% of the paper, bought Merrill’s share.

Better, but not much, than Gannett buying it!
The Capital was a conservative newspaper now bought out by a very liberal newspaper.
Cancelling my subscription as I did the sun many years ago... I get most of my news from Joe these days!
Net effect is much less scrutiny of the scoundrels in Annapolis & Bawlmor.
