to lead the NEWS CENTER Maine team,” said Paul Trelstad, senior
vice president, media operations, TEGNA. “As a leader who

our work is a privilege. I'm excited to keep pushing our mission to
be the most trusted and reliable source for local news, weather,
sports, and all the things that make our state and its people
special. My family has watched NEWS CENTER Maine for generations,
