All of the paper's writers are free contributors.<ref name="google1"/> Over the years, it expanded to serve 27 different communities in [[Baltimore]], and fostered local writers and provided internships for high school and college students. In 2004, it had a circulation of about 28,000.<ref name="google1"/>

In the early 1980s, the ''Chronicle'' added national and international reporting and commentary, seeking to supplement the news then locally available. In 1989, Krause and others established the nonprofit Baltimore News Network, Inc., which began publishing The Sentinel, a small newspaper that highlighted peace and [[social justice]] news and views and which, due to its nonprofit status, was able to obtain reprint permissions that were otherwise unavailable to the ''Chronicle''. The ''Chronicle'' returned to its primarily local beat, carrying the Sentinel as an insert.

In 1995, the ''Chronicle'' established its website. At first, this site mirrored the print reportage in the ''Chronicle and Sentinel''; gradually, the site began posting daily, becoming a far more extensive and timely source of news and views. I

n 2003, the ''Baltimore Chronicle'' was acquired by Baltimore News Network, Inc. and the print edition ceased. Others active during the long tenure of the newspaper include Alice Cherbonnier, its managing editor and wife of Larry Krause, and her brother, Marc Cherbonnier, the webmaster.
