‘Page One, Inside the New York Times’

‘Page One, Inside the New York Times’ – an insightful documentary directed by Andrew Rossi (2011), depicting the life of a story and the transformation of the media industry. The perspectives of journalists Tim Arrango and David Carr, as employees of The New York Times were analysed as we [the audience] travelled on the journey of a developing story. The film showed the impact that The New York Times has on the media industry as a top news source – “other news organisations use stories of The New York Times to write their own”. The popularity drop in has a detrimental effect on The New York Times as a media source, as technological advances and the rise of online news become a major threat to print media. I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary and would recommend it to anyone interested in the fast paced life of a New York Times journalist.
