We briefly touched on Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin’s proposal to allow newspapers to choose tax-exempt status earlier this week, but thought the topic deserved further attention. So, to recap:

From the AP: “Cardin said his proposal may not be the best choice for some major newspapers, but “should be an option for many newspapers that are struggling to stay afloat.”
