Host of TideSmart Talk with Stevoe, Steve Woods, recently welcomed Publisher Mark Guerringue (right).<\/p><\/div>\n

Guerringue, who now lives in North Conway, NH, helped to start numerous free dailies starting with The Conway Daily<\/em> Sun <\/em>in 1989, followed closely by\u00a0The Berlin Daily Sun\u00a0<\/em>in 1992, and\u00a0The Portland Daily Sun\u00a0<\/em>in 2009.<\/p>\n

After the collapse of the alternative weekly\u00a0Phoenix<\/em> papers (which had locations in Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, Providence, and Portland), Guerringue bought the\u00a0Portland Phoenix\u00a0<\/em>with plans to revitalize it. Unknowingly, another party started\u00a0DigPortland<\/em> (another alt-weekly with roots in Boston) at the same time as the purchase of the\u00a0Phoenix<\/em>. To prevent over saturation of the Portland market,\u00a0the owners of\u00a0the\u00a0Portland Phoenix<\/em>\u00a0decided to buy out DigPortland<\/i> at the end of 2014.
