In 2003, the Saturday morning edition of the Journal Tribune was renamed "York County Weekend."
In 2013, the Sunday edition of the Journal Tribune was launched. Nearly 25,000 editions were delivered every Sunday to residents throughout York County. The free Sunday edition ended with the Oct. 28, 2018 edition.
In 2017, the newspaper discontinued its Monday printed edition, instead publishing an online-only edition for that day.
Reade Brower, owner of MaineToday Media, acquired the Journal Tribune and the Times Record of Brunswick on April 1, 2018 from the Sample News Group, which then acquired Brower's newspapers in Rutland and Montpelier, Vermont.
Starting with the Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018 edition, the Journal Tribune's "Weekender" edition was expanded. Columnists appearing in the free Sunday edition were moved to Saturdays. The newspaper also added a "Scoreboard Page" and "Outdoors Page" for Sports. The newspaper's "Food Page" was expanded to two pages and a new "Books Page" and "Life Page" were created. The "Religion Page" which typically has appeared in Friday's Journal Tribune also was moved to the "Weekender" edition.
With the elimination of the free Sunday edition, the newspaper also created an online-only edition for that day.
In 2019, the Journal Tribune was closed.[1]
