This week, the Baltimore Sun is losing three pivotal journalists. Two are leaving to do PR at Johns Hopkins, the most powerful institution in town: @DougDonovan, whose reporting led to resignation of two mayors, & editorial page editor @andrewagreen, who will now lead Hopkins PR.
@DougDonovan @andrewagreen These are big gains for Johns Hopkins, but big losses for The Sun, and thus big losses for Baltimore, which as recent years have shown has an even greater need than other cities for a vigorous press.
I don't think we've yet fully grasped the cost of local journalism's decline.

@DougDonovan @andrewagreen On the upside, the Sun is hiring to fill these slots. Apply! It's one of the wildest and most eventful cities to cover in America, where your purpose as a journalist is never in doubt.
