In November 2015, after fourteen years of independent publishing, the company was sold to Sun Media, [1] the local, family-owned publishers of the Weekly Forecaster newspapers, the daily Lewiston Sun Journal , and several other weekly newspapers in the state. During the first year of ownership, the Sun Media team invested heavily in the niche magazine division of Current Publishing and relaunched three of the magazines as full glossy publications: Maine Women Magazine, My Generation, and 95 North.
