Think globally, act (and invest) locally.

Clifford G. of Portland

Locally owned media are more responsive to the needs of the community and typically more responsible in their practices.

Laura H. of Portland

I fully support the Portland Newspaper Guild's attempt to buy the Blethen Maine newspapers. In fact, I'm willing to back up my support with some money, although it would probably be a modest investment relative to what's needed. Please keep me apprised of your efforts.

Boyd M. of Portland

100% in support! Keep Maine profits and jobs in a locally owned business.

Peter K. of North Berwick

It would be great to have the Portland paper locally owned. It would be even better if the workers and community owned it.

Kevin D. of Portland

Excellent! This could perhaps be the only *Good* outcome for the Newspaper. I'll certainly sign up for a paid subscription should this come to pass. You would certainly have my support!

Gillian B. of Cape Elizabeth

I'm with you

Ron D. of Leeds

I'm all for it.

"Don't mourn, organize."

Ethan M. of Greene

This is a very exciting effort, and a model for the future of proactive, community-based economic development in our state. We need more and more businesses that are owned and controlled by local people, especially the people who work hard to make those businesses what they are.

Captain J. of Westbrook

This is a great opportunity to make this a Maine owned company! I look forward to many years of great news coverage and wish the employees the best in their efforts!

Ruth R. of Portland

Independent newspaper ownership is a cornerstone of our way of life. Good luck with your efforts!

Graham G. of Spain

I would like to express my solidarity with you. I hope your campaign to take ownership of the paper succeeds.
