The Veterans Day Parade through Portland, ME began at Longfellow Square. Approximately eight blocks of scattered candy and wind-blown leaflets later, the event culminated outside of City Hall where leaders of town and state offered speeches to the crowd. Some citizens brought sweater-clad pets, others brought protest signs, but Congress Street was lined for blocks with people in some way commemorating the holiday.

Salt Stories

The Salt Stories blog features the work of students at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, a 15-week educational program training aspiring writers, radio producers, and photographers in the art of nonfiction storytelling. We believe everyone has a story to tell, and we work with our students to use journalistic skills and ethics to produce powerful and objective work. Each semester we are proud to send a group of documentarians and nonfiction storytellers out into the world hoping that they continue to shape our ever-changing media landscape.
