Join us for a conversation with the executive producer and editor-in-chief for Frontline—the PBS program widely admired for its extraordinary investigative journalism. Raney Aronson-Rath will take us behind the scenes of this legacy program, discussing how Frontline topics are chosen, how each program is put together, and the impact of some of its most powerful episodes. We’ll learn about the local journalism initiative behind "Breakdown in Maine,” a Frontline collaboration with Maine Public and the Portland Press Herald. And she'll also talk about her background, her career, and the state of journalism today.
This Maine Calling discussion will be a live, in-person event with an audience at Maine Public's new studio in Portland.
