Page One: Inside the New York Times

Page One: Inside the New York Times (2011). Documentary about the state of print journalism, as told through the prism of the Times. Newspapers are going through a depression, with falling ad revenues, while they compete with TV news and the Internet for the attention of Americans. This movie examines the current state of the New York Times, which has recently gone through layoffs in the newsroom. Will the Times survive, and if not, how big a loss will it be? Only the viewer can decide if the loss of the Times would be a tragedy, so watch this film and make up your own mind. It's a fascinating and very current question. This disc has no subtitles, but does offer (saving grace) closed captions. Grade: A-
