une 28, 2018, was one
of the darkest days in
American journalism.
That day, a gunman walked
into the offices of the Capital
Gazette, a newspaper serving
Annapolis, Maryland, and
opened fire, killing five
employees who worked in
the paper's editorial and
advertising departments.
It was a tragic reminder to
those who work in the media
industry of the dangers they
can face right on their home
soil, far from a war zone.
