Newspapers nationwide are struggling with the double whammy of the
downturn in the national economy and the explosion of Internet news. How has
this changed the way the public gets its information and how that information
is presented? Mack will discuss the changing face of journalism based on her 30
years in the industry.
Sharon Kiley Mack began her journalism career in Pittsfield 30 years
ago. She worked for two weekly newspapers - the Valley Times and Eastern
Gazette - before joining the Bangor Daily News. She was bureau chief for
Somerset County for more than two decades before moving to Downeast Maine four
years ago to continue her career.
She has won numerous state, regional and national writing awards for her
work, including in her specialty of agriculture. Mack is a University of
Hartford graduate, mother of six and grandmother of six. She continues to write
as a freelancer for several papers and maintains an artist studio in Machias.
