While it is the aim of the site to develop special emphasis on Europe it will be of interest to all students of the subject. NewsWatch is the first online media criticism magazine designed specifically for news consumers. The Midcoast Forum on Foreign Relations was organized fifteen years ago by a small group of area residents with extensive experience abroad. It has brought experts from around the World to the Camden-Rockport area on the first Monday of each month at the Sail Loft restaurant in Rockport for a luncheon talk and discussion of some current aspect of international relations. Speakers have included U.S. and foreign officials, working journalists, academics, and international businessmen.
Membership is limited to fifty.
Those interested may apply to be placed on the waiting-list for membership, which makes them immediately eligible for invitations to meetings from time to time when vacancies occur. The speaker and topic will be announced in due course. Please note that Forum meetings are now being held at Marcel's Restaurant at the Samoset Resort. Participants select a different discussion topic in advance for each session. This group is made up of members of the Forum and people awaiting to be admitted to membership in the Forum.
