Connor, a Bangor, Maine native, will serve as editor and publisher of the three Maine papers involved in the deal – The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, The Kennebec Journal in Augusta and The Morning Sentinel in Waterville. The MaineToday Web sites and niche print pubs like the free pub The Maine Switch were also part of the package put up for sale by the Seattle Times Co.
