A new free daily newspaper is coming to Portland, possibly as soon as this month, according to one of its business partners.

Mark Guerringue, publisher of the Conway (N.H.) Daily Sun, said the Portland Daily Sun could start circulating late this month or next.

It will begin operations with an editor and two reporters, and will focus on publishing hard news stories based on Portland people and events.

Curtis Robinson, a former Washington, D.C., public affairs professional, will serve as editor of the new publication, which will circulate five days a week.

The newspaper will be published in Conway.
