Journal Tribune
The Journal Tribune (and its weekend edition, the Journal Tribune Weekender) was a daily newspaper published in Biddeford, Maine, United States, circulated throughout the greater York County, Maine region. Its first issue was on January 5, 1884, published as a four-page broadsheet. Weekend editions 
The Journal Tribune Weekend's first issue was on August 8, 1988. It covered Saturdays and Sundays until it was renamed the York County Weekend for its first edition in 2005. The weekend paper was later renamed back to the Journal Tribune Weekend in 2009, and two weeks covered Saturdays only, though returned to Saturday and Sunday coverage. Journal Tribune Sunday's first issue was for Sunday, June 16, 2013. The Journal Tribune Weekend continued to be published on Saturdays, and continued to cover Sundays. The Sunday edition's last issue was on October 28, 2018, after which it became online-only. The weekend edition's name changed following this, with the first November issue being published as the Journal Tribune Weekender. This sparked another period of Saturday-only coverage by the Weekender, though issues in December returned to full-weekend coverage. The name change represented the new, longer weekend edition intended to make up for the lost Sunday edition. History 
In January 2017, the newspaper announced they would no longer publish a print Monday edition, opting to enhance their online Monday edition instead. MaineToday Media 
Reade Brower, owner of MaineToday Media, acquired the Journal Tribune as well as Brunswick's The Times Record on April 1, 2018 from Sample News Group, which then acquired Brower's co-owned newspapers in Rutland and Barre–Montpelier, Vermont. Closure 
In 2019, the Journal Tribune was closed. The last articles on their website were posted September 26, 2019, and their last paper was published October 12. At the time of their closure, they published an edition for Tuesday through Saturday. Ed Pierce was the executive editor at the time of the paper's demise, though he already had plans to retire.
