The Portland Argus (1960)

The Portland Argus (1960)

 
The Portland Argus (unrelated to the Eastern Argus, of 19th century Portland) was a short-lived weekly newspaper which was published by Pioneer Publishing Company, at 18 Preble Street in Portland, ME, from June - November 1960. Billed as Maine's First Metropolitan Weekly Newspaper, the newspaper's owner was Otis C. Williams, Jr.

From the first issue of the Portland Argus.:
"The Argus will be an independent newspaper. It is not connected in any way with any other newspaper past or present."
We will express our own opinions through editorials- not through 'loaded' stories or slanted 'news reports...'"
"...the Argus will be fun to read. Every week we will bring you the best in sports coverage, personal comment on the local scene, society news, and news of the after-dark world of entertainment, cartoons, plenty of pictures, special cooking features for women, and a new children's story for bedtime reading every week."
