Starting Monday morning, the Bangor Daily News is launching an email newsletter aimed at our readers in midcoast Maine.
While regions in Maine can be famously “fuzzy,” as one reader recently pointed out, we consider the midcoast to include the cities and towns roughly between Brunswick and Prospect — or from the Kennebec to Penobscot rivers.
Each week, our talented reporters and I will share exclusive news and analysis from that area. We’ll also summarize the biggest and most interesting stories from the past week.
From housing and development news to analyses about education and business openings and closings, our reporters from Brunswick to Belfast will help you understand a fascinating and fast-changing region of Maine.
One of our midcoast reporters, Jules Walkup, has written about the viral fame of a lobster shack, the efforts to clean up polluted industrial sites and the debates over local schools and housing policies. They’ve come to the BDN as a corps member with Report for America.
Our newest hire, Sasha Ray, covers local news and business developments in the Belfast region. She’s now working on a story about the island at the center of a big dispute involving offshore wind energy in Maine.
We’re always interested in your ideas for stories. Please reach out to us with any tips or questions by emailing [email protected].
Charles Eichacker is the senior coastal editor.
