Page One Inside The New York Times
Rating: M
Released by Madman Home Ent
A traditional doco looking at the New York Times, its reporters and the way it's still surviving post the recession, this is an interesting and captivating look at a handful of the reporters and their fight for relevance in the new media world. Iraq, Julian Assange, the Jayson Blair plaigarism scandal all rear their head in this very watchable piece.
For those inside the media, there may be the feeling the doco fudged one of the biggest issues it faces currently-its survival in the world of FB and Tweeting, touching all too briefly on this and worryingly making you feel those in charge aren't quite sure the financial model is remotely in place.
As an outsider looking in, it's a compelling piece -and even boasts an appearance from Rupert Murdoch as his media empire demons play out now.
A little unfocussed, the doco goes from one to the next and simply ends, but it's the staff of the media desk whom the film follows that you end up caring about. A solid piece which will be a crowd pleaser.
