BANGOR DAILY NEWS • September 30, 2022
For a long time the Bangor Daily News didn’t have a reporter focused solely on the environment. Mehr Sher began working for the BDN as our environment reporter in August. Her first year at the BDN is supported by Report for America and our founding local sponsor, the Unity Foundation. Report for America asks that we raise money from the community for the position long term to make sure there is buy-in from the public we serve. Over the past three weeks, our audience team exceeded its goals by raising almost $19,000 from more than 190 readers. It means we can sustain the position into 2023. As the editor overseeing this position, thank you. Feel welcome to write to Mehr at msher@bangordailynews.com.
