Capital Gazette Keeps Working, And Publishing, After 5 Die In Newsroom Shooting


NPR  
"Today we are speechless," reads the opinion page in Friday's edition of The Capital, where the staff is still reeling after five of their colleagues were shot and killed. Despite Thursday's attack, the staff put out a newspaper, with powerful reporting on its own tragedy.
"That opinion page — A9 — sits almost entirely empty, with a huge blank space where columns and editorials would normally be.
"Beneath it, the editorial staff wrote, "Tomorrow this page will return to its steady purpose of offering our readers informed opinion about the world around them, that they might be better citizens.' " . . .
