Inviting all for a screening of the film "PAGE ONE: INSIDE THE NEW YORK TIMES"
Synopsis: The film deftly gains unprecedented access to The New York Times newsroom and the inner workings of the Times' Media Desk. With the Internet surpassing print as the main news source and newspapers all around the world facing layoffs and cutbacks, PAGE ONE chronicles the transformation of the media industry at its time of greatest turmoil. It gives us an up-close look at the vibrant cross-cubicle debates and collaborations, tenacious jockeying for on-the-record quotes, and skillful page-one pitching that produce the “daily miracle” of a great news organization. What emerges is a nuanced portrait of journalists continuing to produce extraordinary work under increasingly difficult circumstances. At the heart of the film is the burning question on the minds of everyone who cares about a rigorous American press, Times lover or not: what will happen if the fast-moving future of media leaves behind the fact-based, original reporting that helps to define our society?
