About Us TBD

Our Mission

NewsChannel 8 and TBD.com deliver local news and community information about the Metropolitan Washington, D.C., region. The two outlets provide an integrated newsgathering force: Reporters, editors, producers, and community-outreach specialists come together to produce original journalism; highlight news and information from other media outlets and blogs; and engage our audience in a dialogue on news and culture in the area. TBD also has built an extensive community network of blogs and websites whose work is featured on this site. Our goal is to create a comprehensive guide to local news and entertainment, delivered on multiple platforms, for anyone interested in what's happening in the region. NewsChannel 8 and TBD are owned by Allbritton Communications Company, which also owns POLITICO, as well as a collection of regional television stations, including WJLA in the Washington, D.C., area.

Our coverage area includes Washington, D.C., Montgomery County, Prince George's County, Frederick County, Arlington County, Alexandria, Fairfax County, Prince William County and Loudoun County.
