Montgomery County becomes news desert as Gazette closes

Montgomery County becomes news desert as Gazette closes

Montgomery County will soon be turning into a news desert, with just one local weekly newspaper left serving a million people in Maryland’s largest county. On Friday, the staff of the Gazette newspapers in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties were told that the papers were folding. Maybe it’s time to try a nonprofit online news model, say a MontgomeryReporter.com, for this important county.
