Bangor Daily News
The Bangor Daily News is an American newspaper covering a large portion of rural Maine, published six days per week in Bangor, Maine.
The Bangor Daily News was founded on June 18, 1889; it merged with the Bangor Whig and Courier in 1900. Also known as the News or the BDN, the paper is published by Bangor Publishing Company, a local family-owned company.
Coverage area
The BDN is notable in the newspaper business for having an extremely large coverage area. The BDN's print circulation area covers a large portion of mostly rural Maine that is larger than Connecticut and includes eight of Maine's 16 counties, geographically covering 68% of the state, although the population in that area is less than in the remaining 32%. Online, the BDN has readership throughout the state.
Bureaus
The BDN's home office is in Bangor, and the BDN maintains offices in Augusta, Ellsworth, Machias and Belfast. In addition, the BDN has three reporters and two photographers in Portland and a reporter each in Bath, Rockland, Newport, Lincoln and Houlton for a total of 10 bureaus throughout the state.
