The Weekly Packet Competitors

HuffPost is for the people — not the powerful. We are empathetic reporters and observers. We hold power accountable. We entertain without guilt. We share what people need to know to live their best lives. If something matters to our audience, it matters to us. Here on LinkedIn, our Work/Life reporters help you navigate the twists and turns of modern careers. You can also find them at https://www.huffpost.com/life/worklife. We are the original internet newspaper, founded in 2005. Now we have newsrooms and editions in 15 countries. We’re truly global, but still feel local. We tell stories in text, video, audio and pictures, and bring them to our audiences wherever they are. We're fast, fun and inclusive. And we'll always make sure you know what's real.

Founded in 1889 by the great-grandfather of the current publisher, The Bangor Daily News is among the oldest family-owned news organizations in the United States and the sole daily newspaper for eastern and northern Maine, providing high-quality state, local and investigative journalism and comprehensive marketing and advertising services. Bangor Publishing Company today serves its readers and advertisers from Portland to Aroostook County with a family of products providing statewide reach such as the Bangor Daily News, bangordailynews.com, The Piscataquis Observer, Bangor Metro Magazine, The County and thecounty.me, Pulse Marketing Agency and Print Works, a full service printer located in Presque Isle. We like to say that the BDN brings Maine together through local, fact-based journalism as a trusted guide to the state we all love, providing the essential civic service of investigative, accountability and community journalism. BDN community reporting is focused on Maine’s more rural regions, in eastern and northern Maine. Investigative reporting is statewide, as is policy reporting centered in Augusta with our politics team. In many communities we serve, the Bangor Daily News is the only entity providing watchdog reporting.

The Portland Press Herald has long been Maine's go-to paper for local news, sports, business, and listings. The Maine Sunday Telegram is the Sunday edition of The Portland Press Herald. The Portland Press Herald and Maine Sunday Telegram are part of the Maine Trust for Local News, which is the state’s largest network of independent news and media outlets. With 158 journalists on staff, we serve audiences through our 5 daily newspapers and 17 hyper-local weekly newspapers, in print and online. The Maine Trust for Local News is a subsidiary of the National Trust for Local News, a non-profit committed to conserving and operating vibrant, sustainable local news enterprises across the country.
