History
The newspaper was formerly distributed only in the suburbs of Washington, under the titles of Montgomery Journal, Prince George's Journal, and Northern Virginia Journal. Their parent company, Journal Newspapers Inc., was purchased by Philip F. Anschutz's Clarity Media Group in October 2004. On February 1, 2005, the paper's name changed to the Washington Examiner, and it adopted a logo and format similar to that of another newspaper owned by Anschutz, the San Francisco Examiner.
Political slant
The Examiner's editorial page is heavily conservative; it is headed by Mark Tapscott, with former American Spectator senior editor Quin Hillyer serving as its associate editor. The paper's national political coverage, which also appears in Examiner papers in Baltimore and San Francisco, is headed by Bill Sammon and Susan Ferrechio, both former Washington Times reporters; Sammon has written several books praising George W. Bush. Chris Stirewalt, who has been described as "a true conservative voice"[1], is the Examiner's political editor.
