About Us

The Gorham Times is published every other Friday, covering the news of the entire Gorham community. It reflects the many components of our town, and as such presents government, schools, organizations, and people. It does not not take an editorial stance but does encourage the airing of different viewpoints by providing a forum for fair-minded discussion.

The Gorham Times is a nonprofit corporation, funded entirely by advertising revenues. Its start-up, in August 1995, was supported by the generous donations of many Gorham residents and business people, and by our advertisers.

The foremost goal of the Gorham Times is to "Bring the News to all of Gorham." To this end, the staff of this newspaper and its Board of Directors are dedicated to quality Gorham news coverage and to serving its advertisers

The Gorham Times is mailed free to Gorham businesses and our advertisers. It is also mailed to subscribers and distributed to over 100 sites throughout Gorham and surrounding towns. We are proud of extremely high readership. In a community of 3,900+ owner occupied households, 4,200 issues of the Gorham Times are circulated.

Volunteers Needed
