Newspaper union takes to the street as their rally to win local ownership of The Baltimore Sun hangs in the balance

A year into its rallying cry to save The Baltimore Sun from being sold to a hedge fund, the newspaper’s union took to the streets Saturday facing the same uncertainties as when the long-shot quest began, but with more reason for optimism. The Washington-Baltimore News Guild launched its lobbying efforts to return The Sun, the Capital Gazette and the Carroll County Times to local ownership last April, and emotions of the newspaper’s staff and supporters have been whipsawed by events ever since.
