A Survey of Maine Websites
As a blogger about Maine, I try to spend some time checking out other Maine-related blogs and websites to get an idea of what Mainers are publishing on the ‘net. Here are a few that I’ve found to be interesting reading. Please note that these are opinion sites rather than MSM news sites. If you’re interested in Southern Maine newspaper coverage, take a look at www.mainetoday.com. And these are definitely not tourism or destination sites. I’ve started on a separate post for those.
- www.maine.com - This one definitely leans a little far left for my tastes, but it seems to provide a good overview of issues on the hearts and minds of Mainers
- maine.indymedia.org - An independent media outlet focusing on Maine issues and events. This seems to be pretty up-to-date, but the website could stand an overhaul, imho.
- www.mainwebreport.com - A good blog about Maine issues. I believe this is left-leaning as well, but if so, it’s balanced enough to make it hard(er than maine.com) to tell.
For the record I do not necessarily share the political views expressed on the sites above. New2Maine.com is not, however, a political blog, so I will refrain from discussing my personal political stances here as much as possible. Just know that I find the above sites informative. That doesn’t mean I agree with them…
