Staff
The BDN has bureaus in 10 of 16 counties in Maine, and a sharing agreement with the Sun Journal that provides stories from three more counties. In late 2006, cutbacks in the newsroom resulted in early retirements and elimination of some positions. Those who were laid off were reportedly given severance packages. Since then, the BDN has added most of the reporting positions back, though it has cut in other departments. As of August 2011, the BDN employs 70 people in the newsroom, more than any other news outlet in Maine.

“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
