Newspapers in Maryland. THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Searching the internet I decided to write some information about a famous newspaper called The Washington Examiner.  



The Washington Examiner is a free daily newspaper published in Springfield, Virginia, and distributed in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The newspaper was formerly distributed only in the suburbs of Washington, under the titles of Montgomery Journal,Prince George's Journal, and Northern Virginia Journal. The Examiner is owned by Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz,  who purchased their parent company, Journal Newspapers Inc., in October 2004. On February 1, 2005, the paper's name changed to the Washington Examiner, and it adopted a logo and format similar to that of another newspaper owned by Anschutz, the San Francisco Examiner.  The Examiner's parent company, Clarity Media Group, also owns the conservative opinion magazine The Weekly Standard. The Examiner co-sponsored the  Republican presidential debate in Ames, Iowa on August 11, 2011.

It was announced in March 2013 that the paper will stop its daily print edition in June 2013 and be replaced by a weekly print magazine.


Distribution
The newspaper is supported entirely by advertisements and is distributed in the Washington, D.C. area. The paper is available at most Washington Metro subway stations. It is delivered to 300,000 houses on Thursdays and 250,000 on Sundays. It is printed in a compact format. The Examiner covers world, national, and local news and sports. The Examiner's executive editor is Stephen G. Smith. The newspaper employs staff writers, news services, syndicated writers, and freelance writers.

Format
Generally, the format of the Examiner starts with a cover page with local headlines, as opposed to national headlines. The next 8-10 pages are devoted to local news. National/political news follows, with pieces about things such as entertainment, real estate, etc. mixed in. There are typically four pages of op-eds with both syndicated and exclusive articles. Several pages of legal advertisements follow, and the last pages are for sports news.

Political views
The Examiner's conservative writers include Byron York (National Review), 

Michael Barone (American Enterprise Institute, Fox News Channel), 

and David Freddoso (National Review, author of The Case Against Barack Obama).

The paper endorsed John McCain in the 2008 presidential election and Adrian Fenty in the Democratic primary for mayor in 2010.  On December 14, 2011, it endorsed Mitt Romney for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, saying he was the only Republican who could beat Barack Obama in the general election,  releasing a series of critical articles of Obama.
