Abstract

"Focus on Greater Portland" piece on the rise of weekly newspapers in suburban Portland, noting that since 2001, four new weeklies have joined the handful of community papers already covering the area. Observers like Earl Brechlin, vice president of the Maine Press Association, say the weekly market shows no signs of slowing. Lee Hews Casler, publisher of four community papers, says the residents of Portland's suburbs have relatively high income and education, making them an attractive demographic. With details on the "Community Leader" in Falmouth, the "Forecaster" in Falmouth, the "Current" in Scarborough, and others.
