The Talbot Spy is Talbot County’s only community-owned online newspaper for local news, culture, and the arts.
The Talbot Spy
The selection of the word “spy” on the masthead of any newspaper these days is a slightly risky proposition. Immediately, images of surveillance, espionage, and general sneakiness come to mind when the words spy and media are put together, particularly in a community that has more than its fair share of retired CIA and other strategic intelligence officers. So the Talbot Spy could quite easily mean something entirely different from the trusted, hyper-local newspaper we have aspirations to be
And yet, using the name spy for a local newspaper comes from some fairly noble roots. Beginning in Boston in 1771, with creation of the Massachusetts Spy (which many credit as being the backbone of the Revolution) independently owned spy newspapers were found in Worcester, MA; Lancaster, PA; Springfield, MA; Shell City, MN; and more locally in Chestertown in 1783.
We believe that The Talbot Spy can carry on that tradition for Talbot County and its handful of unique villages of Easton, Oxford, and St. Michaels, in a way that plays an useful and timely role using the full power of the Internet.
