Details

Founded in 1973, Salt focuses on educating and promoting responsible storytelling in documentary practices alternative to filmmaking. Salt offers accredited semester programs[1] in radio documentary, documentary photography, or non-fiction writing.

The mission of Salt's experiential education programs is to “collect, communicate and preserve non-fiction stories about Maine people, culture and landscape that, as they relate to the larger world, foster community and celebrate the diversity and the commonality of humanity.”[2]
