The Capital Gazette said in a Sunday editorial that it would not forget being called "an enemy of the people." President Donald Trump has used identical language to describe the news media.
The Capital Gazette said people also called for the paper to fire a reporter who cursed on national television after seeing her friends shot.
The paper also thanked the community for its support following the shooting and said more than 800 people subscribed to its digital edition.
