“Answering the Call: The True Meaning<\/p>\n
of Patriots’ Day”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In 1998, the activities of the town\u2019s recreated 18th century militia unit, the Danvers Alarm List Company, were recorded by North Shore journalist Stephen Crowe for a graduate course at Boston University. Video was taken in Danvers, Lexington, Concord, and Arlington, and later edited into a 3.5-minute \u201centerprise piece\u201d suitable for an evening news program. Shot in Hi8 video format, the piece was created in VHS format and later re-edited in Final Cut Pro. This short but succinct broadcast piece captures the spirit of the commemoration of Patriots\u2019 Day in Danvers and Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
We are grateful to Stephen, who began his career as a Danvers Herald<\/em> reporter, for his efforts, and for allowing us to include this presentation on our Archive website.
