If you are public radio listener chances are you’ve heard the work of graduates(and sometimes students) of the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland, Maine. Now comes word the school is closing.
The Salt Institute has been in business for more than four decades specializing in writing, photography and radio. It’s the radio documentary part of the Salt curriculum that made it unique. There are few places as well known for teaching the long form audio style of story telling.
The school’s management says declining enrollments made it necessary to close down.
