The Portland Press Herald (abbreviated as PPH; Sunday edition Maine Sunday Telegram) is a daily newspaper based in South Portland, Maine, with a statewide readership. The Press Herald mainly serves southern Maine and is focused on the greater metropolitan area of Portland.
Founded in 1862, its roots extend to Maine’s earliest newspapers, the Falmouth Gazette & Weekly Advertiser, started in 1785, and the Eastern Argus, first published in Portland in 1803.[1] For most of the 20th century, it was the cornerstone of Guy Gannett Communications, before being sold to The Seattle Times Company in 1998.
Since 2023, it has been a part of the Maine Trust for Local News, a nonprofit group run by the National Trust for Local News that includes four other daily newspapers and 17 weekly newspapers.[2]
