The residents of Cape Ann have looked to The Gloucester Daily Times for over 135 years to get their news. This award-winning periodical stands apart for its hyper-local focus on the people who live, work, and play on Cape Ann.
In 2023, the Cape Ann Museum presented, Above the Fold: The Photographers of the “Gloucester Daily Times,” 1973-2005, a special exhibit featuring a selection of works by photographers shooting for the Times for over three decades. The photographs draw on an important archive of an estimated one million photographs recently donated to CAM by the North of Boston Media Group.
Building on the success of the Museum’s exhibition featuring the work of long-time staff photographer Charlie Lowe in 2009, Above the Fold, focused on the newspaper’s next generation of staff photographers. The exhibition shared the important role local journalism, and specifically photojournalism, plays in documenting community. Through photographs and personal accounts of more than a dozen GDT photographers, Above the Fold reflected on over 25 years of people and stories in Cape Ann through the photography that has and continues to bring us together.
