The Baltimore Banner drops paywall for two days — in honor of one-year anniversary

Today marks the one-year anniversary of The Baltimore Banner. To celebrate, we have dropped our paywall for today and tomorrow so anyone can access our stories, regardless of subscription status. It’s been an incredible year. The Baltimore Banner has established itself as a force in local journalism, with coverage that is unsurpassed. I am immensely proud of the work we have done and the positive impact we’ve had.

As a nonprofit independent news organization owned by The Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism, our mission is to have a positive impact on Baltimore and the region. We exist for no other purpose. We are not here to make money like hedge fund owners of local news — we are here to tell the stories of our communities, to unite, to inspire and make a difference in the lives of our community through storytelling. This is the standard we hold ourselves to.
