Together with the
Portland Press Herald, Maine Sunday Telegram, Kennebec
Journal, Morning Sentinel and Coastal Journal newspapers,
MaineToday.com is owned by Blethen Maine Newspapers, a
member of the Seattle Times family.
Since 1896 the
Seattle Times has been owned by the Blethen family, whose
roots go back to Maine. Alden Blethen, a native of Unity,
Maine, practiced law in Portland before heading to
Washington, where he bought the Times in 1896.
Frank A. Blethen,
Alden's great-grandson, is publisher and CEO of the Seattle
Times Company, which took ownership of the Maine papers and
new-media division November 2, 1998.
From 1921 to 1998,
the Portland Newspapers were owned by Guy Gannett and his
descendants. Gannett's daughter Jean became publisher after
his death in 1954, in an era when women were rare in
boardrooms. Madeleine Corson, Hawley's niece and a granddaughter of Guy Gannett, succeeded Jean Gannett Hawley as chairman of Guy Gannett Communications in 1994.
In 1995, the Portland papers
launched their first Web site, which grew to a full-service
Maine news site with a series of specialty sites on
business, entertainment, tourism, Casco Bay and other
subjects. Today, MaineToday.com is devoted to exploring
opportunities on the Internet.
