The Portland Daily Sun

The Portland Daily Sun is a free daily newspaper published Tuesdays through Fridays and distributed to retail and business locations in Portland, Maine.

The paper was founded in 2009 by Mark Guerringue and Adam Hirshan of Country News Club, in partnership with Curtis Robinson, who served as founding editor. Its first edition was printed February 3, 2009. Circulation, which started at 3,000 copies, quickly rose to 15,000.

In 2012, the newspaper moved its offices to the Time and Temperature Building in downtown Portland. At the time, publisher Mark Guerringue said The Portland Daily Sun was not yet profitable, but "We're poised for it, the pieces are in place".

Famous quotes containing the words portland, daily and/or sun:

    It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.
    —For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Sleep, nature’s rest, divine tranquillity,
    That brings peace to the mind and chases far
    All care; that soothes our breasts by daily toil
    Over-wearied, and prepares for labor new.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    Disclose thy Sun beames; close thy wings, and stay;
    See, see, how I am blind, and dead, and stray,
    O thou, that art my Light, my Life, my Way.
    Francis Quarles (1592–1644)
