Editorial stance[edit]
The Exception Magazine is nonpartisan.[7] It has published guest editorials from conservative groups such as the Maine Heritage Policy Center as well as liberal groups like the Maine Center for Economic Policy. The Exception's publisher is Stefan Deeran.[8]
Guest contributors[edit]
Maine Congressman Mike Michaud[9] Democratic member of Maine Senate, and that party's 2010 candidate for the office of Governor of Maine Libby Mitchell[10] Maine Governor Paul LePage[11]
Hospitality industry coverage[edit]
The Exception Magazine covers the food and travel industry and is known for its profiles of food tech ceos and town by town restaurant reviews[12] The Exception is known for its script-generated town-by-town restaurant reviews using information data-mined from websites such as Yelp. These articles are examples[13] of clickbait and serve only to increase the magazine's ad-generated revenue. Such pieces often make their way into news aggregators such as Google News where they may be mistaken by readers for actual news articles.
