The folks at OccupyMaine, I think in part out of skepticism that they’d be fairly depicted in the local and regional media, have long covered their own movement in writing, photographs and video.

Now, even with their encampment in Lincoln Park having been disbanded — largely as a result of a failed lawsuit against the city, which denied the group’s request to stay there, officials said, because of safety and sanitary concerns — the occupiers are staying true to their promise to keep promoting their message after the tents go away.


Among the most prominent ways they’re staying organized is through a television program run on Portland community TV and on the Internet. The news-style show includes updates about the nationwide Occupy movement as well as segments about the issues the demonstrators are interested in, which include corporate influence on government, climate change, and a range of other related topics.

The shows have graphical illustrations, raw news footage and interviews with Occupy reporters and anchors.
