About Us

Our Newsrooms

Our newspapers and our three websites cover regional and statewide news from newsrooms located in Portland, Lewiston, Waterville and Augusta. Our local community news is distributed through a mix of daily and weekly newspapers, epapers, community newsletters, and localized sections of our regional websites.

Pressherald.com is the digital home of the Portland Press Herald and the statewide Maine Sunday Telegram newspapers; and also publishes community news from the communities from York and Cumberland County to the Midcoast.

SunJournal.com is the digital home of the Lewiston Sun Journal newspaper; and also publishes community news from Androscoggin County and Western Maine.

CentralMaine.com is the digital home of the Morning Sentinel and Kennebec Journal; and also publishes community news from the communities surrounding Waterville and Augusta.

Regardless where you find our news, our reporters and editors keep pursuing the kind of work that sets us apart and helps make our towns, cities and state better. We have boots on the ground, covering the topics Mainers care about most, including local and state politics, environment, education, health care, housing, economic development and criminal justice. In addition, we showcase the best, and quirkiest, of the state’s food and culture, while also highlighting the innovation proudly coming from within our borders.
