Ten and a half years ago, Maddy Corson called the sale of her family's newspaper franchise to the Blethens "the best possible outcome for our readers, our employees and the communities that we serve. We're so glad to be owned by independent newspaper people rather than" [...]
The Portland Press Herald and kin have taken long-overdue steps to prevent spammers from appending scatalogical and pornographic links as comments to their articles and blogs.
There are still some dead-enders at 390 Congress Street as well as at points north and east who are praying to any false gods they can summon that Rich Connor will go away. They want the virus that is Blethen Maine Newspapers to continue ravaging Maine [...]

The Portland Press Herald has a full-time deputy managing editor/online. I’m not making this up. Part of Still-Editor Jeannine Guttman's $500K bonfire of Frank Blethen's cash.
