The Baltimore Examiner was a free daily newspaper, one of the two big dailies in Baltimore, Maryland (the other being The Baltimore Sun). It was launched in 2006 by the Philip Anschutz-owned Clarity Media Group as part of a national chain that at the time included The San Francisco Examiner and The Washington Examiner. In contrast to the paid subscription Sun, the Examiner was a free newspaper funded solely by advertisements. Editorially, The Examiner was viewed as taking a more conservative tone than The Sun. After being unable to find a buyer, The Baltimore Examiner closed after its final publication on February 15, 2009.
The managing editor of the The Baltimore Examiner, along with several others from various national newspapers, started The Baltimore Post-Examiner in 2012.
