Today, Radio Free Hub City is proud to announce the launch of The Smithsburg Bugle, the first installment in a growing family of hyper-local publications dedicated to the communities of Washington County, Maryland. Available now in digital form and slated for print later this year, The Smithsburg Bugle revives the spirit of the beloved Smithsburg Trumpet with a modern platform that keeps neighbors connected.
This debut joins Hub City Unplugged, Radio Free Hub City’s print edition of regional news-distributed at no cost at key local events-extending the outlet’s free, community-driven journalism to both town and county audiences.

“Launching The Smithsburg Bugle marks a milestone in our mission to deliver truly local journalism,” said Ken Buckler, President of Radio Free Hub City. “As the first of several planned town-focused publications, the Bugle will complement our existing Hub City Unplugged print edition, ensuring that every corner of our region has news that resonates with its residents.”
Features of The Smithsburg Bugle include community news, events, and a look at historical and cultural events from the area. The Smithsburg Bugle will also provide an excellent opportunity for hyper-local advertising, as well as increased engagement from area residents seeking free copies of the publication from distributing businesses.
Digital subscribers enjoy free, unlimited access today; print edition distribution logistics is still in the works, and will be distributed in partnership with local businesses in Smithsburg. In keeping with Radio Free Hub City’s strict no-paywalls policy, all Smithsburg Bugle content remains freely accessible online.
Radio Free Hub City invites Smithsburg civic groups, organizations, and residents to share news tips, story ideas, and event listings. Stay tuned for upcoming hyper-local editions covering other towns-because every community deserves its own local news.
