MaineToday Media
MaineToday Media, Inc. (abbreviated as MTM) was a privately owned news publisher of daily and weekly newspapers in the U.S. state of Maine, based in the state's largest city, Portland. It included the Portland Press Herald, the state's largest newspaper. In 2023, the group was sold to the nonprofit National Trust for Local News, which formally consolidated the company with Alliance Media Group and Sun Media Group to form the Maine Trust for Local News.
The trust owns five of Maine's six daily newspapers, the exception being the Bangor Daily News. They own the flagship Portland Press Herald and its Sunday edition the Maine Sunday Telegram, the Morning Sentinel of Waterville, the Kennebec Journal of Augusta, the Sun Journal of Lewiston, and the Times Record of Brunswick.
In 2018, the trust bought the Journal Tribune of Biddeford, which was founded in 1884, and closed it the following year. Also, the Evening Express of Portland was published by Guy Gannett until it was phased out in favor of the Press Herald.
The trust owns The Forecasters, a group of four weeklies aimed at communities in southern Maine; as well as the American Journal of Westbrook, Gorham, and Buxton; and the Lakes Region Weekly for the Lakes Region.
They also publish the "Southern Maine Weeklies" through Mainely Media: the Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier (Biddeford Courier), Scarborough Leader, South Portland-Cape Elizabeth Sentry (South Portland Sentry), and the Kennebunk Post, for the communities of Biddeford–Saco–Old Orchard Beach, Scarborough, South Portland–Cape Elizabeth, and Kennebunk, respectively.
The "Western Maine Weeklies" include the Advertiser Democrat of the Oxford Hills, The Bethel Citizen of Bethel, The Franklin Journal of Franklin County, the Livermore Falls Advertiser of Livermore Falls, the Rangeley Highlander of Rangeley, and the Rumford Falls Times of the River Valley.
It previously published The Community Leader, a weekly a lifestyle, entertainment, and arts magazine in Falmouth (part of the Central Maine Newspapers market), which was later moved to Portland and renamed The Maine Switch. In 2008, The Bollard, a monthly magazine published in Portland, described the Switch as a "free pile of cheap wrapping paper" good for "following fads, exploring yoga and toiling away at an endless list of home improvement projects between marathon bouts of Art Walking and pandering to potential advertisers." In August 2009, the Switch ceased publication.
The trust operates three websites: CentralMaine.com, PressHerald.com, and SunJournal.com. The former websites of MaineToday and Masthead Maine redirect to the Maine Trust's website.
