WHY DOES BIDDEFORD NEED ANOTHER MEDIA OUTLET?
ANSWER: We believe that there is no such thing as too much local news coverage.
Biddeford once had its own daily paper. Sadly, the Journal Tribune closed its doors and ceased publication in October 2019. The weekly Biddeford-Saco Courier — once a thriving, locally owned weekly news publication — was sold to Maine’s largest newspaper conglomerate several years ago and ceased printing in March 2025.
Our primary goal is to provide our readers with reliable and accurate information about the city of Biddeford via a collaborative approach that will provide our readers a “one-stop” platform for accessing news and information about their community.
