Program Description

Event Details

Join reporters from Maine Public and the Maine Trust for Local News for a series of listening sessions this fall. What’s going on in Maine that you’d like to see covered? What is happening in your community that we should be aware of? What do you like and not like about our respective coverage of the news so far in 2025?

Hear from leadership members of both organizations about the state of the media in Maine today and what best practices news organizations must adhere to moving forward to remain valued and relevant. After this event, there will be the opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with journalists from both organizations.

Journalists at this event include:

Maine Trust for Public News Staffers

  • Carolyn Fox, executive editor, METLN
  • Julia Arenstam, managing editor, Press Herald

Maine Public News Reporters

  • Mark Simpson, Director of News and Public Affairs
  • Irwin Gratz, Morning Edition Host and News Reporter
  • Peter McGuire, Climate Reporter
