Page One: Inside the New York Times 2010

Page One: Inside the New York Times
 (2010)    Newspapers are becoming increasingly obsolete, the New York Times has kept America informed for generations but it now struggles to remain relevant.  More readers are turning to the internet to stay informed on rapidly changing current events.  The editors and writers battle accusations of inaccuracy and also embrace blogging as a means of retaining readers.
    David Carr is an interesting columnist with a background as an ex-crack addict on his resume, also a single parent who reinvented himself.  What about the foreign correspondents in years past and in the present who go into real danger to dig out the truth?  Complex questions and a struggle for the answers as to the fate of newspapers in the future?  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

92 min, Doc directed by Andrew Rossi with Sarah Ellison, David Carr, Bruce Headlam, Richard Perez-Pena, Clay Shirky, Brian Stelter.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb, 7.0 out of 10, 80% critic 75% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
