All Maine Matters

Last updated

All Maine Matters is a conservative monthly newspaper in the U.S. state of Maine, with a particular focus on rural matters in the state. The paper is a free advertiser-supported publication. The current publication resulted from a merger of two newsletters, the UTU Newsletter, published by Robbie McKay of Kingman, Maine and Fisheries Notes, published by Helen Gordon of Sullivan, Maine. [1] The first run of All Maine Matters began in the 1990s and ended in 2001. The paper's second (and current) run began on January 9, 2006. The newspaper uses volunteer writers and columnists, many of whom are state senators and representatives, experts, political activists and writers from Maine or elsewhere in the United States.

All Maine Matters is owned by the Maine Free Press, LLC, which also publishes the Magic City Morning Star , an online newspaper serving the Katahdin Region of Maine as well as issues involving all of Maine and the nation.

All Maine Matters ceased publishing in December 2006. However, an effort is underway to revive it as a quarterly newspaper.
