Just when you thought the number of daily newspapers in Baltimore was dwindling… First we get the Examiner, now we get “b”. Starting April 14th, “b” (which is produced by the Baltimore Sun) will be distributed for free at news stands around the city. The target audience will be generally be young adults, so the papers will apparently be distributed as locations such as restaurants, bars, and gyms. The tabloid will generally focus on pop culture, but will have heavy coverage of local nightlife and entertainment. A central repository of local events is urgently needed in Baltimore where coverage of “going ons” is mostly spattered across various websites (such as citysearch and metromix) and the neighborhood newspapers (seriously lacking). Hopefully “b” will help energize Baltimore’s growing cultural and nightlife scene for younger residents and will encourage even more young people to move to the city.
