The Bangor Daily News is launching a new weekly newspaper later this month that will cover the midcoast region.
Starting May 21, The Midcoast Beacon will be mailed free to every household in Waldo and Knox counties, as well as Waldoboro in Lincoln County, according to the Bangor Daily News.
The new weekly paper will have a circulation of 43,000 and be modeled after The Weekly, a weekly paper the Daily News has published for seven years in the Bangor area.
