The Monitor hosts documentary screenings, conversations about local news

The Maine Monitor, with support from Maine newspaper and academic partners, hosted free screenings of the documentary Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink in Waterville, Ellsworth, and Biddeford this week.

The Monitor also brought Goldsmith to speak to dozens of students at two middle schools and two high schools in Belfast and Bangor, as well as community members at the Belfast Rotary Club. At the University of New England, Goldsmith sat for a television interview with the university’s media and communications students.
