    I am writing this review on behalf of my 90 year old mother whose husband recently passed at 96…read moreafter a long battle with dementia. In reviewing my parents' finances, I became aware that the Baltimore Sun has been criminally over-charging them for paper subscription services, likely for many years. Since November 2024, the Sun has been charging my parents $250 per month for subscription services, an increase from the already outrageous price of $170 per month for the prior year(s)!! Thats $9 per day!!!! Meanwhile, the intro price is $6.99 per week. This type of behavior, especially against elderly people managing chronic health conditions, is predatory, criminal and shameful. They subscribed for 60 + years. Shame shame shame on you Sun Paper. Shame. Honestly, It makes me feel ashamed to be from Maryland. Luckily, I got to complain to a call center 1/2 way around the world. so thats nice It is unfortunate that yelp does not allow 0 stars.

    I have been a subscriber for years, and even though the paper has been greatly diminished since…read morethey were acquired by Alden Global Company whose mission is to torpedo all newspapers in their portfolio, I still think local news coverage is good, and essential as the watch dogs for the Baltimore region. I have never had any issues with delivery as other folks reported. The cost of the paper is ridiculous considering what you get, and I cancelled for a few months, but found that I missed it and re-subscribed at a better price. So even though my 4 stars is probably generous, I want to support the journalists who still do a great job in covering Baltimore and surrounding area.

    The Baltimore Sun - Saw one of my friends on the wall at the Sun!

    Unable to cancel my subscription after months of trying. Customer service doesn't respond when you…read morecall, and email responses have been unhelpful. They say they can't find my account, but when I log onto the site it says I have an active subscription. It's not clear how often I'm still being billed - digging through my credit card records I haven't seen anything recent, but the ambiguity is stressful and cancelling should not be this difficult. This behavior is criminal. Based on other reviews, apparently I'm not the only one.
