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.

On January 1, 1999 I became the publisher of Mainebiz. I was so excited that WPL had purchased it from Jonathan Whitney, that I was going to be the new publisher, and my family was moving to Maine! And what has transpired over the last 22 years? Two recessions, five websites, two changes in company ownership, a growing number of employees that had us moving to five different locations, the start and end of the Momentum Convention, the transition online to digital and mobile content, and a pandemic. It certainly has not been boring.

In your 50s you’ve proven yourself and begin to lose your patience to suffer fools lightly. After that you begin to self-reflect and ask yourself, what else is there that I want to do?
