‘A key source of information about our state’s business climate’
In a short statement on its website, Maine Business Daily states: “Our mission is to be a key source of information about our state’s business climate, daily business transactions, and entrepreneurship. We also provide important data and facts about the state’s economy to improve discussion among policymakers, business leaders, and the public.”
The online site, however, does not provide a list of its correspondents and news editors on its “About page.” Many of its stories are also labeled as press release reports.
New York Times said the fast-growing pay-for-play network, which included Maine Business Daily, resembles ordinary local-news outlets, with names such as Des Moines Sun, Empire State Today, and Ann Arbor Times. Just like any local newspaper, the platforms employ simple layouts and stories reporting local politics, community events, and even national issues.
