I'm an avid critical thinker, and experiencing other intelligent criticisms of local media, to me, is almost as important as reading it in the first place. I'm hoping News Trust can help me become a better reader, writer, and ...arithmetic-er.

*excellently* written analysis/opinion of how the seemingly unending attention paid to Downtown in terms of development needs to shift in another (or any, for that matter) direction.

Good writing, interesting points, completely biased and one-sided. Your pretty standard Michael Dresser article.

Internet memes don't really take hold of cities, people just kind of do them wherever. You could just as easily replace "Planking" with "LOLCats" for this article

Commenters have a decent point; money should be awarded to screen printers within the city, rather than in Columbia.

I’ll echo Jack D.‘s comment and add "It depends on what version of Maryland’s America you’re living in." A lot of the rural schools and Baltimore City (another school system that rocketed to #1 under O’Malley’s leadership if you were to ... More »

Hard hitting photojournalism detailing the identities of previously unknown flag-waving females to be showcased at the Baltimore Grand Prix. Seven out of the thirteen girls mention "The Inner Harbor" and/or "The Aquarium" as their top "what to do" in Baltimore. Clearly a conspiracy.

Baltimore City sues Wells Fargo for predatory lending to minorities, and yet refuses to pay lead paint damages to minorities who were affected by the Housing Department's failures. Also, blaming Wells Fargo for blight that has affected the city since the 1960s, that's rich

Lacking a title sponsor, Grand Prix organizers are taking smaller payments from smaller sponsors and investors to fill the gap. They claim to have sold over 26,000 of the initially predicted 100,000 tickets.

MD's economic development agency loans the Grand Prix $500k just as their payment of $500k is due to the stadium authority. Organizers claim the continuing lack of a title sponsor is no problem as ticket sales are more than robust.

The Grand Prix inks a few more sponsors but still lacks a title sponsor. Mayor SRB and Councilman Bill Cole claim economic impact for the city up to twice that of Long Beach, CA'w grand prix.

It's very clear and nails everything down in a really complete fashion. Using the city map with the existing and new boundaries is an additional bonus to help understand how our officials will (or will not) be affected. I was pleasantly surprised to see that our Mayor has a relatively humble residence.
Christopher Siple Comment:
I’d agree that the data is complete, but the article is flimsy – it couldn’t have taken them more than an hour or two to put together the graphic (as neato as it is)

This is a feature? Other than a lot of pictures there's not much to it. CP makes no attempt to add to the discussion that the Baltimore blogosphere has been generating by the nature of the limited text or the lack of reference to any other media source aside from WBAL - despite the fact that this issue has been a deservedly hot button issue for a lot of readers.
They didn't even reference the source material they clearly borrow from, very disgruntled with the lack of references. At least it serves as a very minor* link in the chain of information. *edit: on the second thought, the information is really important. they still didn't need to do much other than look up property listings and snap a few photos to put this together, adding some depth to the text would have made it a great feature.
