The Clarity Media Group announced today it would be closing the Baltimore Examiner after declining revenues and being unable to find a buyer. Fishbowl details what this means for the Washington branch of the paper with a letter from CEO Ryan McKibben. McKibben first touts the success of D.C.’s recent changes to its subscription and distribution plans, which has led them to make “new, major investments” in the paper. Columns and investigative journalism get the biggest boost, with most of the focus on politics and lobbying news. They also plan to launch a new web site in March, with the addition of three new web editors. In addition to Washington, Clarity Media Group still runs a sister-publication of the Examiner in San Francisco.
