(RICHMOND – February 14, 2026) – My entire life centers around Black media. So when I learn that two giants in our industry are closing their doors—at least in their current form—it hits me hard.

In February 2026, the Richmond Free Press, a pillar of Black journalism in Virginia for more than three decades, published its final edition. Publisher Jean P. Boone, widow of founder Raymond H. Boone, wrote words that every Black publisher in America understands: “We no longer…

But here’s what the rest of the state doesn’t want to admit: Penn-North is where their kids go to die. BMORENews spoke with addictions counselor Steve Dixon, who revealed something that should alarm every family from Towson to Annapolis, from Montgomery County to the Eastern Shore.
