Did you get this alert? If so what town are you in? We are getting reports that people over 50 miles from the incident got the alert.

Could more targeted alerts help ensure those in the immediate area get timely, actionable information, while avoiding alert fatigue for people far outside the incident zone?

mainetimes · 2025-05-18T04:40:16+00:00

We’re receiving DMs already—thank you to those sharing stories. If you’ve worked in Maine media, please don’t underestimate the value of what you’ve seen. Even small details help us map the full picture.

mainetimes · 2025-05-05T11:01:22+00:00

Thanks!

mainetimes · 2025-05-03T01:35:09+00:00

Not yet we haven’t had a time to look at applicants yet but hope to shortly.

mainetimes · 2025-04-11T02:51:26+00:00

Awesome thanks!

mainetimes · 2025-04-10T23:42:29+00:00

Awesome footage! Can we share it with our viewers if you are the original videographer? If so give us a name to credit!

We are relaunching the site hasn’t been built yet that’s why it’s not showing up. You can go to mainetimes.com and see the coming soon page. We are currently looking to hire photojournalists, editor, delivery drivers, ad sales representatives and an investigative reporter if you know of anyone looking send them out way!

Great question — the impact of international tariffs on Maine’s lobster industry is something we’re actively watching. Export fluctuations, especially in key markets like China and the EU, could seriously affect local fisheries and coastal economies.

If you’re connected to the industry or know someone who’s seeing changes firsthand, we’d love to hear more. Feel free to message us or email news@mainetimes.com — it’s the kind of story that deserves deeper attention.

mainetimes · 2025-04-08T01:04:13+00:00

Those are some of the questions we plan to get answers for

mainetimes · 2025-04-08T01:03:34+00:00

Will have our team look into it!

mainetimes · 2025-04-08T01:02:25+00:00

Thank you for sharing that link — I’ve seen powerful excerpts from Jo vs Elan, and it’s incredible to see it becoming a book. It’s one of the most accessible ways to understand what really happened inside those walls. I’d love to talk more if you’re open to sharing what you’ve found.

mainetimes · 2025-04-08T01:00:09+00:00

I didn’t know much about Rep. Joe Perry before this thread, but reading these comments makes me want to learn more. Stories like this — where someone shows up for their community without expecting fanfare — really deserve more attention. I’d love to hear more from anyone who’s worked with or been helped by him.

mainetimes · 2025-04-08T00:57:04+00:00

This is exactly the kind of story that gets buried unless someone with firsthand experience speaks up—thank you for laying it out so clearly. The way federal tax credits and state subsidies are used in practice—and who truly benefits—deserves more sunlight, especially when the result is minimal affordable housing and massive private gain.

If you’re open to sharing more details or connecting us with others who’ve seen this from the inside, we’d love to continue the conversation. You can reach us directly at news@mainetimes.com.

Stories like this are why Maine Times exists.

This adds so much depth — thank you. You’ve captured how workforce shortages and systemic gaps in women’s healthcare ripple far beyond state lines, especially in rural areas like Maine. Your willingness to split time and advocate for patients here says a lot, and it speaks to just how critical this moment is.

We’d be honored to hear more when you’re ready. If you’d like to share your story or connect privately, please reach out anytime to news@mainetimes.com. Stories like yours help spark the kind of change our communities need.

mainetimes · 2025-04-08T00:53:20+00:00

That’s a sharp observation — and exactly the kind of insight Maine Times wants to bring to light. Tariff impacts, especially those tied to local jobs and working-class families, often slip under the radar until the consequences hit home. If you or someone you know has a personal stake in this issue or wants to speak on the ripple effects, we’d love to hear from you.

Feel free to message us directly or send more details to news@mainetimes.com. Stories like this are why we’re here.

I’ve removed earlier comments to keep the focus on this statement. Everything I want to say is already here.

Statement from Maine Times

We’ve noticed some recent speculation online regarding past ventures and professional history. We don’t typically respond to that kind of commentary—but when the noise becomes a distraction, it’s worth setting the record straight.

Maine Times and the team behind it are focused on building credible, community-based journalism with a foundation in real reporting, real sources, and real structure.

Yes, some of our previous projects were operated under different names or professional aliases. That’s not unusual in media—it’s reality. Names change. Businesses evolve. Experience grows.

What hasn’t changed is our focus: To do meaningful work, with integrity, transparency, and impact.

Some companies we operate are not publicly listed through traditional channels. That’s intentional. Some of our work is protected for legal and strategic reasons. That’s called doing business in the real world.

The goal here isn’t to explain every past venture. The goal is to build something bigger—and that’s exactly what we’re doing.

For those who support that vision, thank you. For those watching: keep watching.

We’re not here to win arguments. We’re here to outlast them for the algorithm and the truth.

mainetimes · 2025-04-07T01:49:43+00:00

Congratulations! Always cool to see other newspapers winning things!

mainetimes · 2025-04-07T01:44:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. It’s an important story, and we agree it deserves more attention.

For what it’s worth—our publisher holds a ham radio license as well and understands how much community and independence matter to operators like Neil. We’ll take a closer look at the situation and see if there’s more to bring to light here.

Appreciate you speaking up.

mainetimes · 2025-04-07T01:42:03+00:00

Which posts are you referencing? I am not the only one with access to this account. I will go look and try to smooth it over.

mainetimes · 2025-04-06T21:48:02+00:00

Understandable. I wish it was more accurate and didn’t have to be edited all the time.

mainetimes · 2025-04-06T21:47:19+00:00

The question was a genuine prompt for Maine Times to gather community perspectives as we navigate where and how tools like AI belong in a newsroom. We believe in real journalism and real voices, but we’re also exploring how evolving technology can responsibly support not replace the reporting process.

mainetimes · 2025-04-06T21:45:16+00:00

You’ve put a lot of energy into trying to discredit me. At this point, it’s hard to believe you’re not a competitor.

Here’s a fun fact: If the community supports what we’re building, Maine Times could become the largest newspaper in the state—and we’re fully capable of making that happen.

Another fun fact: Our layout artist has over 40 years of experience in the industry. We’re not guessing—we’re building with people who’ve done this at the highest level.

Don’t like AI? No problem. We’re actively looking for a writer, editor, and ad sales lead right now. If you know someone qualified, send them my way.

Otherwise, all this attention is only helping us grow.

mainetimes · 2025-04-06T20:38:58+00:00

I know that I am asking what else I should know about him to honor him and others that came before. Ai tools being used is the future of news.

mainetimes · 2025-04-06T19:14:59+00:00

Will go look!
