Building on a 196-year legacy of local journalism in Midcoast Maine, Islandport Media is pleased to announce the launch of the Midcoast Villager newspaper at the end of September. This newly designed publication will provide in-depth coverage of Knox and Waldo counties in the proud tradition of The Free Press, The Courier-Gazette, Village Soup, The Republican Journal and Camden Herald, while experimenting with new forms of storytelling and hosting public events to serve its mission of connecting people around the stories and journalism that matter most to Midcoast Maine.
By combining the four existing Midcoast newspaper publications, staffs and production operations into a single, stronger newsroom, the Villager will be better positioned and better resourced to continue to cover the complex issues that affect the region in the decades to come. Knox and Waldo counties are a unique collection of islands, towns and rural communities, but they are one Midcoast community, and the complex local issues that affect us all don’t stop at the county border.
