The Maine Trust for Local News is the state’s largest network of independent news organizations — publishers of the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, Lewiston Sun Journal, Kennebec Journal, and Morning Sentinel, along with more than a dozen community weeklies across Maine. Together, these publications form an essential part of daily life in our state.
With more than 120 journalists on staff, we deliver trusted, in-depth reporting through our daily, weekly, and bi-monthly newspapers, and through a growing network of newsletters that connect readers to their towns, schools, and local issues — both online and in print.
We cover what matters to Maine, shining a light on issues of vital importance to our people, communities, and state. The Maine Trust for Local News is a subsidiary of the National Trust for Local News, a nonprofit dedicated to sustaining strong, community-focused journalism across the country.
Your support as a Maine Trust Supporter directly funds the journalists, investigations, and community coverage that keep Maine informed.
