Tell Your Neighbors About Patch

In the springtime of his 52^nd year, with an Air Force wife home from the war and a daughter desiring his attention, Mark Miller says he’s leaving WBAL. It’s a body blow to local radio, which needs all the good news people it can find.

Frankly, it needs any news people at all.

Miller, who grew up in Woodlawn, has spent three decades at WBAL. The last 21 years, he’s been news director there, keeping the coverage straight no matter how conservative the station’s surrounding talk shows have gotten. And he’s kept the coverage as comprehensive as possible despite any newsroom depth.

As everybody knows, the practice of news-gathering is going through some remarkable changes, much involving downsizing.

"The business,” Miller acknowledges, “has changed.”

Bryan Sears at Baltimore County Politics

Until Bryan Sears takes up shop in his new digs with Patch, follow him here on his website: Baltimore County Politics – All Baltimore County politics all the time, or at least for the next several days… http://baltimorecountypolitics.wordpress.com/

About Me

Sears

I’m a life-long resident of Baltimore County and have a passion for covering local politics and government. I grew up in Middle River and Perry Hall and now live in Towson.

For the last nine years I covered the Old Courthouse for the Towson Times. Starting on Oct. 25 I’ll do so for Patch.com.

Over the years I’ve won regional and national awards for breaking news coverage, local and state government reporting and investigative reporting.

I’m also a political contributor on the Maryland Morning News program on Thursdays on WBAL 1090 AM as well as a frequent guest on many of the station’s shows, a co-host on Jay Liner’s “All Politics is Local” show on WCBM 680 AM, and have appeared on State Circle on Maryland Public Television.

When I’m not doing any of that I like to hike with my golden retriever and play video games with my son.

Occasionally, I sleep.
