Page One: Inside the New York Times

Invited

With unprecedented access, this dynamic cinema verité film documents the inner workings of the newly formed Media Desk of the New York Times. Unflappable editor Bruce Headlam, notorious journalist David Carr, and former blogger Brian Stelter gamely lead filmmaker Andrew Rossi (A Table in Heaven) on a unique and captivating guided tour of the modern newspaper arena. Following the Media Desk for a year, Rossi was on the scene at a time when the New York Times was the subject of almost as much news as it was reporting. Debates and deadlines abound as the team contends with “new media,” foreign desk cutbacks, and the then-unfolding WikiLeaks controversy with equal measures of sage cool-headedness, boyish enthusiasm, and impulsive outbursts. Page One is an up-close examination of the changing world of journalism, from the viewpoint of the most venerable newspaper in America.  TM
