Yeah, sometimes the tone is a little flip, but covering Charm City existence requires a little mirth. They regularly break news that the mainstream print omits or misses. Plus, their events page is like glancing at the calendar of someone a lot more in the know. Also, their "Best Of" issue is a grand study in great food, local phenoms, and ballot stuffing.

In reviewing my parents' finances, I became aware that the Baltimore Sun has been criminally over-charging them for paper subscription services, likely for many years. Since November 2024, the Sun has been charging my parents $250 per month for subscription services, an increase from the already outrageous price of $170 per month for the prior year(s)!! Thats $9 per day!!!! Meanwhile, the intro price is $6.99 per week. This type of behavior, especially against elderly people managing chronic health conditions, is predatory, criminal and shameful. They subscribed for 60 + years. Shame shame shame on you Sun Paper. Shame. Honestly, It makes me feel ashamed to be from Maryland. Luckily, I got to complain to a call center 1/2 way around the world. so thats nice It is unfortunate that yelp does not allow 0 stars.

I have never had any issues with delivery as other folks reported. The cost of the paper is ridiculous considering what you get, and I cancelled for a few months, but found that I missed it and re-subscribed at a better price. So even though my 4 stars is probably generous, I want to support the journalists who still do a great job in covering Baltimore and surrounding area.

Unfortunately there's not enough of it, probably for financial reasons and having to keep a small staff to remain viable. Which is a shame, because if they had the resources of a larger paper, with their focus on neutral and unbiased reporting I think they would be one of the nation's top newspapers. The rest of the paper is equally thin but great at what they do have. The subscription is worth it alone just for the Friday Weekend section that lists all kinds of activities going on around Baltimore, that I don't know where you can find anywhere else.

They say they can't find my account, but when I log onto the site it says I have an active subscription. It's not clear how often I'm still being billed - digging through my credit card records I haven't seen anything recent, but the ambiguity is stressful and cancelling should not be this difficult. This behavior is criminal. Based on other reviews, apparently I'm not the only one.
