On June 28, 2018, a mass shooting occurred at the offices of The Capital, a newspaper serving Annapolis, Maryland. The gunman, Jarrod Ramos, shot and killed five employees with a shotgun. Two others were injured while trying to escape. Ramos was arrested shortly after and is currently imprisoned while awaiting trial for the shooting.
The newspaper published an article in 2011 about Ramos being put on probation for harassing an acquaintance from high school through social media and email. Ramos, angered by the article, brought a defamation lawsuit against The Capital; a judge later dismissed the suit. Ramos is alleged to have sent enraged letters and messages to the newspaper's offices about his threats to attack the office and its staff; no legal action was taken after the threats were received.

Maria Ressa is a Filipina journalist, businesswoman, author, and expert on global terrorism. She is best known as the Chief Executive Officer of the Rappler online news website. She previously spent nearly two decades working as a lead investigative reporter in Southeast Asia for CNN.
In January 22, 2018, as the CEO of Rappler, Maria Ressa appeared before the Philippines National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), to comply with the subpoena over an online libel complaint issued on January 10 to Ressa, former Rappler reporter Reynaldo Santos, and businessman Benjamin Bitanga. The subpoena was filed in October 2017 by businessman Wilfredo Keng, after Rappler published a story on Keng lending his sports utility vehicle to impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona.
In November 2018, the government announced that it would charge Ressa and Rappler's parent company, Rappler Holdings Corporation, with tax evasion and failure to file tax returns. The charge concerns the investment in Rappler by the Omidyar Network in 2015. Ressa has denied wrongdoing, and Rappler has issued a statement also denying wrongdoing.
