Q+A session with director Andrew Rossi, journalist David Carr and Tony Earnshaw
During the most tumultuous time for media in generations, filmmaker Andrew Rossi gains unprecedented access to the newsroom at The New York Times. For a year, he follows journalists on the paper's Media Desk, a department created to cover the transformation of the media industry.
Through this prism, a complex view emerges of a media landscape fraught with both peril and opportunity, especially at The Times itself: tweets and wikileaks are conspiring to subvert today’s media landscape in ways that could never have been anticipated. PAGE ONE offers us the opportunity to think about the choices we have in learning about the changing world in which we live.
Rossi spotlights the burgeoning blogosphere from the perspective of the media division of The New York Times, and shows us how the old school journalistic grapevine still has a place in modern media alongside newer working models. PAGE ONE depicts an institution whose proven techniques need to be preserved even as technology races ahead of itself. The face of the paper is the incisive social media watchdog David Carr, who fights to defend the validity of hard newsprint copy in a society spoon-fed on internet news.
