Page One: Inside the New York Times (1:28) 2011

Newspapers like the Baltimore Sun are going out of business due to a drop of advertising revenue. The popularity of the Internet and sites like Twitter and WikiLeaks is changing the way people are accessing the news. The Atlantic Monthly  in an editorial posed the question of what would happen if The New York Times went under. This documentary deals with that issue by taking an inside look at the newspaper. The staff including the Editor-in-Chief are interviewed. David Carr, a reporter that writes about the changing media, is shown in the process of researching a story about The Tribune. One hundred staff were given a buyout or laid off as a cost cutting measure and scenes of staff on their last day are highlighted. I thought this was a very interesting documentary which posed very interesting questions or put forth interesting topics. Where will the reputable print newspapers fit in today's world. Will The New York Times adjust and incorporate Twitter and blogs? How will we access dependable, unbiased, reliable news?
