The Maine Edge is an 18,000+ circulation free weekly lifestyle/cultural arts publication distributed by Edge Media Group in Bangor, Maine. The Edge, as it's commonly called by readers, was created in part due to the loss of readership among young people in the Bangor area, a problem afflicting many major newspapers across the country. Similar to publications including RedEye in Chicago and Quick (newspaper) in Dallas, the publishers began The Edge in an effort to pull readers back into readership and serve a niche not being serviced by other media in the area. The Edge appeared in December 2006 after the daily newspaper in Bangor, the Bangor Daily News, suffered a series of cutbacks in personnel. Citing declining advertising revenue, the BDN, as it's referred to locally, cut a series of positions in the editorial department and closed several bureaus. More information...
