One of our earliest decisions at The Baltimore Banner was to structure ourselves as a nonprofit, focused on delivering quality, trustworthy news that serves our mission. And unlike a hedge fund, we won’t be in it for the money, focused on profits.

The Baltimore Banner launches today and we’re excited about what that means for local journalism.
