You may be familiar with the newspaper, The Baltimore Banner, formed a handful of years back as The Baltimore Sun was teetering on the edge of extinction under the weight of its hedge fund owners (part of the same dust up that also saw the 100+ year-old Laurel Leader finally shutter its operations).

Well, they’re expanding their coverage into Prince George’s County and they want to hear from you – So much so that they’re coming right into our own backyard.

On Wednesday, March 18 from 6 - 7:30 p.m., Banner editors and journalists will be at the Laurel Branch Library in the Dorothy Height Room to get your input as they prepare to launch the new PG County coverage area. From their invite:
