Opening Night Film
Director Andrew Rossi, New York Times Columnist David Carr Present
"We need institutions," a subject argues in "Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times," and it's a position also held by director Andrew Rossi's fleet, timely assessment of the ongoing crisis in journalism. Handily synthesizing more than a year's worth of stories and setbacks at America's paper of record, this efficiently assembled primer hardly counts as a revelatory dispatch from the old-vs.-new-media frontlines, but its ideas will engross anyone for whom the viability of traditional newsgathering remains a matter of pressing significance. -Variety
As new media surpasses print as the main source for news, director Andrew Rossi’s breakout documentary presents the struggle between the opposing journalistic forces within the largest news media organization in the world. With unprecedented access to the New York Times newsroom in this transformative era of investigative reporting, Rossi shadows the editorial inner circle as they make the important decisions that could make or break the organization.
Rigorous traditional journalism meets new media analysis in Rossi’s vibrant portrait of the intellectual, social, and democratizing forces confronting news organizations today.
Outspoken David Carr, both the former Editor of the Twin Cities Reader and a key subject of this film, returns home to star in a year of covering “all the news that’s fit to print.“
