Salt is a thirty-five year old school, gallery, and archive located in Portland, Maine. Students from around the world attend Salt for a fifteen week, intensive semester in documentary photography, writing, or radio. It's like "Outward Bound" for documentary studies. Rob Rosenthal is the Director of the Radio Program. Located in Portland, Maine, Salt can be reached at 207-761-0660 or by emailing info@salt.edu. Many of the pieces here have been broadcast on Maine Public Radio and Maine's community radio stations WMPG and WERU. A few have made it to National Public Radio. We hope the excellent work of our students will now find room in your broadcast schedule.
