As the standard-bearer for daily journalism, the New York Times has been confronted by the 21st-century old-media revenue crisis in a way mirrored by no other American newspaper. Andrew Rossi's Page One provides a tour through these critical issues, guided by the company's curmudgeonly, idiosyncratic media critic David Carr. In the age of the Internet, the Times faces unprecedented challenges: covering worldwide news on a shrinking budget, crafting a complex relationship with Wikileaks and determining how to get online readers to pay for their daily digital fix. Page One makes a convincing and entertaining case for the Times’ necessity in a world where all the rules seem to be changing.
Screening next Wed (June 22 7:45 pm) + Thursday (June 23 4:30 pm) as part of the 2011 Los Angeles Film Fest will be Andrew Rossi's documentary "Page One : Inside the New York Times". Following the Wed screening will be a talk "The Real Cost of a "Free" Press"
