Welcome to The Portland Daily Sun, published Tuesday through Friday with a daily print circulation of 14,000 and 5,200 unique users online. The Daily Sun newspapers are strong, independent voices in their communities and deliver reliable, non-partisan local news to readers and excellent value to advertisers. Since the first Daily Sun was launched in Conway in 1989 by Mark Guerringue and Adam Hirshan, the Sun newspapers have built a trusted brand in all four markets based on a commitment to high quality community journalism and customer service. Four days a week, the Sun publishes the top local news, letters and op-ed opinion pieces provided by local contributors and columnists from the New York Times, state and regional news generated from other Maine news sources, community news including calendars, puzzles and comics, and local advertising. The Portland Daily Sun prides itself in reporting "The News That Matters, Free' and like the newspaper itself the motto is succinct and to the point. That is the spirit and essence of our mission, and we hope you enjoy reading the Portland Daily Sun as much as we do creating it.
