The Washington Examiner will cease daily publication on June 14 and relaunch as a weekly magazine and website focused on national politics, its owner said today.

Written by DCists Ryan and Colin Every morning, we enjoy thumbing our copy of The Washington Examiner. With strong local coverage that Express sometimes lacks, we have been glad to make The Examiner part of our morning routine. Yesterday’s edition of the paper, however, featured an editorial that is as treasonous to Washington D.C.’s interests as it is uninformed and poorly argued.

The Washington Examiner, owned by the billionaire publisher of San Francisco Examiner, will hit the ground running with bright red distribution boxes, a nameplate branded with an eagle and an ambitious circulation game plan.
