STRIPPED FOR PARTS: AMERICAN JOURNALISM ON THE BRINK screening with a Q&A
SEE EVENT DETAILS
STRIPPED FOR PARTS: AMERICAN JOURNALISM ON THE BRINK is the story of a secretive hedge fund that is plundering what is left of America's newspapers, and the journalists who are fighting back. STRIPPED FOR PARTS: AMERICAN JOURNALISM ON THE BRINK runs 99 minutes, is in English, and is not MPA rated.
Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is quietly gobbling up newspapers across the country and gutting them, but no one knows why- until journalist Julie Reynolds begins to investigate. Her findings trigger rebellions across the country by journalists working at Alden-owned newspapers. Backed by the NewsGuild union, the newsmen and women go toe-to-toe with their "vulture capitalist" owners in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism in America. Who will control the future of America's news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service, the lifeblood of our democracy?
