Company Profile

Company Description:

The Maine Monitor is a statewide nonprofit news organization that produces independent investigative and in-depth journalism on issues of importance to the public in Maine. We report on government accountability, public health, the climate and environment, and Maine’s people, to name a few topics we cover.  By focusing our reporting on investigative and in-depth journalism, The Maine Monitor serves a public interest need and does the stories other Maine newsrooms cannot do as they have reduced staff, particularly in investigative reporting.  

Our mission at The Maine Monitor is to ensure people are fully informed about what is happening in our state so they can participate and connect to create a better Maine. 

We dedicate our budget to directly supporting our journalists and publishing groundbreaking stories in an accessible way. The Maine Monitor, unlike most media these days, has no paywall. That means Mainers of all income strata equally learn from our reports and are better citizens as a result. We also provide all our articles for free to all media in Maine and surrounding states, supporting their publications with free, in-depth content. Our original stories are published every week by news organizations throughout Maine, giving The Maine Monitor impressive reach and influence.
