Papers Asleep in Frederick County?

What you see in your local paper is but a very small fraction of the crime in your area. Thurmont, Annapolis, Oakland, Hagerstown, Waldorf, Salisbury, doesn't matter.

Baltimore has a pretty good system on the BPD site to pull crime stats by zip code. I've used data from there several times to justify additional security needs at store locations I supervise. For AA County I read the Breaking News and Events page on FB to keep updated. AACOPD has their own FB, but only report major crimes there.

Tonight I was walking past our fine newspaper office, and saw a friend of mine working in there, I asked her if she had an answer to my question about the lack of meaningful reporting, she said all the crime info comes from Frederick and not Brunswick, then she gave me a free paper and changed the subject.

Or the MMTA Firearms Training Acadamy Ad ?

FNP is what it is......but it is The Frederick News Post from My hometown Maryland.

This. I've seen where local papers and news stations don't bother reporting a multi-hour SWAT standoff with roadblocks for multiple blocks and dozens of residents evacuated where the perp fires multiple shots at SWAT through the house's outside walls.

The family that used to own it (Delauter's IIRC), were a Frederick Old Line family. Whole they owned the paper it was a local paper that showed an accurate representation of that political leanings of most of Frederick County. When the family sold the paper to some company, it became a leftist, liberal rag. The proof is on the editorials and the stories that they "write".

I have a buddy that works at The Gazette in downtown, and I actually feel sorry for him because he is part of the company that is using print media to turn Frederick County into northern MoCo.

My family canceled our subscriptions to the FNP years ago.

No he's talking about the Brunswick Citizen.

All the OP has mentioned is news to me and our 82 year old neighbor and she's really plugged into the local rumor mill.

Very Interesting...

Brunswick is like Thurmont oh they are in Frederick county?!?

Exactly like Thurmont in so many ways.

We are the LAST TWO suburban fire tax districts in Frederick County.

Jefferson went urban (last year? two years ago?).

Yet the shared response area between us is mostly answered by Brunswick.

How interesting ...

All I know about the fire is that they finally silenced that d$@# siren, what a huge improvement in the quality of life.
