Further south, the Portland Press Herald operates as the largest daily, recently transitioning to nonprofit ownership under the National Trust for Local News alongside the Lewiston Sun Journal and the Kennebec Journal. Weekly publications like the historic Ellsworth American deliver dedicated reporting for Down East communities. Alternative publications supplement these legacy papers with arts and cultural coverage in southern metro areas. Paperboy indexes 30 Maine newspapers — browse the full directory below.
