Baltimore Sun
The Baltimore Sun is the U.S. state of Maryland’s largest general-circulation daily newspaper and provides coverage of local and regional news, events, issues, people, and industries.[2] The Sun was founded on May 17, 1837, by printer Arunah Shepherdson Abell and two associates.

The same week, the rival Baltimore News American, owned by the Hearst Corporation, announced it would fold. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Baltimore_Sun
