The Sun Journal, a daily newspaper printed in Lewiston for 125 years, is stopping the press.
Beginning June 1, the paper said in a news article, it will be published at and distributed from the South Portland facility of Masthead Maine, the media group that purchased the Sun Journal in 2017 and owns 29 other news publications across the state.
With the move, the South Portland plant will print all five of Maine’s daily papers. They comprise the Bangor Daily News, which contracts its printing to the Lewiston press, and four dailies owned by Masthead Maine: the Kennebec Journal, based in Augusta; the Morning Sentinel, based in Waterville; the Portland Press Herald and Maine Sunday Telegram; and the Times Record, based in Brunswick.
