Description: Mainebiz is an award-winning business journal focusing on economic issues throughout the state. Founded in 1994, it was purchased in 2007 by Massachusetts-based New England Business Media, which also owns the Worcester Business Journal and the Hartford Business Journal. Though it’s a relatively small player in the national business-to-business media scene, Mainebiz consistently beats out the big boys to win awards for editorial and design work. The journal is published twice a month by a small editorial staff with offices in the heart of Portland’s Old Port. The staff is made up of former general-assignment journalists who try to make this business newspaper as accessible as possible for everyone from entrepreneurs checking out their industry’s news to the average reader looking for an interesting feature article. Mainebiz is mailed directly to Maine businesses and subscribers but can also be found at a few locations, including the JavaNet coffee shop on Exchange Street and Longfellow Books in Monument Square.
