The Baltimore Sun has dissolved its entire features section, reassigning some of its most celebrated writers to news departments and leaving the paper without any culture coverage for the first time since 1888, the paper’s guild announced.
The Baltimore Sun Guild torched the move in an X post Monday.
“Impacted by the cuts are features reporter Mike Klingaman, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, food and dining reporter Amanda Yeager, who consistently writes some of the Sun’s best-read stories, and Mary Carole McCauley, who has won 9 of her 10 national feature writing awards at the Sun,” the guild said. “The Sun will continue to cover news developments in the arts and food industries, but not the features, exhibit advances and reviews that make up the soul of features reporting.”
