Local News Day, celebrated for the first time this year, is a nationwide effort to reconnect communities with the trusted journalism that keeps them informed and engaged.
At the Maine Trust for Local News, we focus on that mission every day through in-depth reporting, community storytelling, and a commitment to serving readers across the state with our websites, print publications, mobile apps and newsletters.
Our readers are why we do what we do and as a thank you stories on Pressherald.com, Centralmaine.com and Sunjournal.com will be free to read for all on Thursday, April 9.
