The Media and Violence Against Women Editor’s Note: In March, Casco Bay Weekly became the center
of passionate discussion at USM and in the off-campus community for publication
of two cartoons that some groups found offensive. The informal campus
debate on free speech that resulted will be followed up with an opportunity
to include more viewpoints in this discussion. A panel, organized by USM’s
Women’s Resource Center, Sexual Assault Response Services, Family
Crisis Services, and Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, will
bring together members of the print, radio, and television media, including
Lael Morgan, publisher of the Casco Bay Weekly, and Robert McAfee, former
president of the American Medical Association, to discuss the First Amendment,
ethical journalism, the media and its role and responsibility in depicting
and perhaps normalizing violence against women.
