The Capital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Capital is a daily newspaper published in Annapolis, Maryland. It serves the city as well as all of Anne Arundel County and neighboring Kent Island in Queen Anne's County. It is an evening newspaper during the week and offers morning delivery on the weekend. Philip Merrill was the publisher until his suicide in June 2006. The editor is Tom Marquardt.
The newspaper traces its roots to the founding of the Maryland Gazette in 1727. Today, the Gazette, published twice weekly, is a subsidiary of the Capital that covers northern Anne Arundel County. The first paper to feature the word "Capital" rolled off the presses in 1884 as the Evening Capital. It was a weekly until 1955. The word "Evening" was dropped in 1981.
Today, "The Capital" has a circulation of 50,000 and also maintains capitalonline.com.
