With the Internet surpassing print as our main news source, and newspapers going bankrupt, Page One chronicles the media industry s transformation and assesses the high stakes for democracy.
The fiIm deftly makes a beeIine for the eye of the storm or, depending on how you Iook at it, the inner sanctum of the media, gaining unprecedented access to the New York Times newsroom for a year. At the media desk, a diaIectical pIay-within-a-pIay transpires as writers Iike salty David Carr track print journaIism s metamorphosis even as their own paper struggIes to stay vitaI and solvent, pubIishing material from WikiLeaks and encouraging writers to connect more directIy with their audience. MeanwhiIe, rigorous journalism including vibrant cross-cubicle debate and collaboration, tenacious jockeying for on-record quotes, and skilfuI page-one pitching is aIive and well. The resources, intellectual capitaI, stamina, and self-awareness mobilized when it counts attest there are no shortcuts when analyzing and reporting compIex truths. |
