Page One: Inside the New York Times

While it certainly has a lot to say about the state of the newspaper business today, the really fascinating part of watching Andrew Rossi’s new documentary, especially for journalists, is getting a chance to peak behind the curtain and see how the New York Times operates on a daily basis. It’s great to share in the passion of the people who write the stories, the ones who edit the stories and even the ones who publish the stories, or at least decide which ones will be published for the next day’s edition. The harsh reality may be that the Internet and other publishing innovations have seriously dented the newspaper industry, but, as the movie proves, the idea of a world without a New York Times on the stands every day is unimaginable.
