deadCENTER: Page One: Inside The New York Times
Maybe it’s the journalism geek inside of me, but the documentary Page One: Inside The New York Times was without a doubt the film I was looking forward to the most at deadCENTER this year.
Director Andrew Rossi spent nearly 14 months inside one of the biggest media outlets in the country and the insight he brings back on how the Times are changing to adapt to a news “right now” society is pretty fascinating.
The main “characters” of the film are social media expert and all around boy wonder Brian Stelter and the gruff but the amazingly quick-witted and hilariously blunt David Carr.
Page One addresses the main concern of falling ad revenues to the rising cost of printing a newspaper to the innumerable amounts of competition that those newspapers face from online sites.
Rossi’s ability to take a very niche and complex kind of subject like the decline of print newspapers and explain it so neatly is an understated quality.

This documentary seems riveting. Brian Stelter was the editor of my hs newspaper the year before I was. Cool stuff man. Can’t wait to see this!
