As of 2018, "The Capital" had a daily circulation of about 33,000. The papers are printed on a computerized high-speed Goss International Headliner press. On June 28, 2018, a man killed five employees at the "Capital Gazette" offices in Annapolis, Maryland: journalists Rob Hiaasen, Wendi Winters, Gerald Fischman, and John McNamara, and sales assistant Rebecca Smith. The staff of "The Capital" and its parent company were subsequently chosen by "Time" as Person of the Year 2018, as one of "The Guardians," a collection of journalists from around the world in their fight against the "War on Truth." On April 15, 2019, "The Capital" received a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation to "...honor the journalists, staff and editorial board of the Capital Gazette, Annapolis, Maryland, for their courageous response to the largest killing of journalists in U.S. history in their newsroom on June 28, 2018, and for demonstrating unflagging commitment to covering the news and serving their community at a time of unspeakable grief."
