Starting this election season, the Bangor Daily News will be experimenting with new formats to improve our politics coverage.
As local politics get more nationalized and the level of noise and vitriol grows with each cycle, our chief goal is to cut through and help you understand the stakes ahead of Election Day.
In our politics section, you’ll see new ways of presenting news, from explainers of breaking events and stories that explicitly explain the stakes to Q&As and first-person essays from experts. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive view of major political issues in formats that digital audiences prefer.
We’re building this around you. So you can expect to see us asking you what you care about. Our politics team will use its insight and expertise to explain what the latest news means to the races you care about.
With our new contributor network, you’ll get unique viewpoints on Maine politics from inside and outside the state. These writers will be able to pull back the curtain on the political process and give you more than just the party line.
Our aim is to ensure you understand everything you need to know about this election and have every question answered before you fill out your ballot.
