Bowie Sun, The

Focused on rebuilding hyperlocal journalism in Prince George’s County, The Bowie Sun delivers community-driven reporting centered on Bowie, Maryland, and nearby neighborhoods that have historically received limited local media attention. The outlet emphasizes civic reporting, neighborhood concerns, local government accountability, elections, and profiles of community leaders and innovators through a distinctly local lens. Founded by journalist Catherine Hollingsworth, The Bowie Sun positions itself as an alternative to broader regional media outlets by prioritizing in-depth coverage of Bowie City Hall, local activism, education, elections, and civic life. The publication follows the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics and emphasizes transparent reporting practices, source identification, fact-checking, and clear distinctions between journalism, opinion, and advertising.
