AI notes: The Baltimore Daily Intelligencer had a very brief existence, only lasting from 1793 to 1794—about a year. It was an early attempt at a daily newspaper in Baltimore, which at the time was still a growing city. Despite its short run, it was part of a wave of new publications that emerged in the early years of the republic, reflecting the political and economic dynamism of the period.
Its rapid disappearance likely had to do with financial challenges, competition with other newspapers, or changes in the political climate that affected the newspaper industry. Still, it remains an interesting piece of American journalism history from the early 1790s.
