Day of Design: 20 Years of Newspaper Design
Portland Press Herald
Portland, Maine
The Portland Press Herald is a daily newspaper in Portland, Maine. Serving the state’s largest and principal commercial city, as well as much of southern Maine, the Press Herald and its sister paper, the Maine Sunday Telegram, form the largest-circulation newsroom in Maine.
Throughout most of the 20th century, these two newspapers were the cornerstone of Guy Gannett Communications‘s media holdings, which included two other daily newspapers in Maine. In 1998, these newspapers were sold to The Seattle Times Company. Ten years later, they were purchased by MaineToday Media.
