Movie Trailer for PAGE ONE: INSIDE THE NEW YORK TIMES

 

Check out this great movie trailer to a very interesting documentary called Page One: Inside the New York Times. The movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, but I didn't get a chance to see it while I was there, but it did get some very good reviews. The movie pretty much shows us a year in the life of the New York Times and the people who keep it going. I'm really looking forward to seeing this doc. 

Here's the synopsis for the film:

Andrew Rossi’s riveting documentary Page One: Inside The New York Times had its World Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, and was acquired by Magnolia Pictures and Participant Media for theatrical release this June. In the tradition of great fly-on-the-wall documentaries, the film deftly gains unprecedented access to the New York Times newsroom and the inner workings of the Media Desk. With the Internet surpassing print as our main news source and newspapers all over the country going bankrupt, Page One chronicles the transformation of the media industry at its time of greatest turmoil. Writers like Brian Stelter, Tim Arango and the salty but brilliant David Carr track print journalism’s metamorphosis even as their own paper struggles to stay vital and solvent, while their editors and publishers grapple with up-to-the-minute issues like controversial new sources and the implications of an online pay-wall. Meanwhile, rigorous journalism is thriving–Page One gives us an up-close look at the vibrant cross-cubicle debates and collaborations, tenacious jockeying for on-record quotes, and skillful page-one pitching that brings the most venerable newspaper in America to fruition each and every day.

The film hits theaters on June 24th 2011. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!
