HOW AN INDEPENDENT MAINE DAILY NEWSPAPER WORKS (PVSC Spring 2024 5-week In-Person course)
Instructor: Dan MacLeod
Class is held at UMA-Bangor, Texas Ave. Eastport Hall Room 135
Classes will be recorded

This lecture course will take you inside the newsroom of the Bangor Daily News, Maine’s last independent daily newspaper. Over five classes, students will learn how reporters work and how editors make decisions. They’ll go behind the scenes of some of the biggest stories of the past few years and learn about the history of journalism and what the destruction of the newspaper business model means for the health of Maine communities and the state of democracy. The class will feature guests from the BDN. Since we’ll be reading BDN stories regularly, a digital subscription is the only required course material. https://www.bangordailynews.com/subscribe/
