The Daily Bulldog is a community news website based in Farmington, Maine, serving Franklin County and surrounding communities. Its name originates from the historical term “bulldog” used in newspaper publishing to describe early special editions produced to quickly report breaking news.
In 2022, the outlet was acquired by the Central Maine Media Alliance and operates as part of a nonprofit media ecosystem that includes Mt. Blue TV. The publication focuses on delivering timely, accessible, and comprehensive local news to residents both within the region and those living elsewhere who want to stay connected to their home communities.
The Daily Bulldog covers a wide range of topics, including municipal government, public affairs, education, local events, arts and culture, outdoor recreation, classifieds, and community announcements such as job postings and housing availability. It also highlights local writers, poets, and craftspeople, reflecting the cultural life of Franklin County.
As a free-access digital platform supported by donors, sponsors, and community partners, the Daily Bulldog functions as both a news source and a community bulletin board. It emphasizes speed, accessibility, and local relevance while also distributing content widely to readers beyond the region, including seasonal residents and those living out of state.
