The Forecaster is a regional newspaper in southern Maine that is published weekly and distributed for free. Formerly owned by MaineToday Media,[2] the paper and its different versions throughout the state were sold to the Maine Trust for Local News in August 2023.[3] In 2012, they announced a partnership with the Bangor Daily News in which they would collaborate on news-gathering and publish stories across the websites of both newspapers.[4]

Different versions

[edit]

It publishes several different versions, including:[5]

The "Mid-Coast Forecaster" was aimed at the same towns as what is now the Coastal Journal Edition, but was merged with the Coastal Journal to form the Coastal Journal Edition Forecaster.[6]

Collectively, these papers are referred to as The Forecasters.[7]
