Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and colleagues at the Capital Gazette. We live in difficult times, particularly for those who courageously cover the news even when they know the news may not be popular with everyone. It is particularly sad that as we approach Independence Day, the freedoms for which our founders fought seem to be under attack. Journalists work every day toward truth, and we know that all in our profession today mourn with those killed in Annapolis.
