Tagline : This year, the biggest story is their own.
Newspaper industry all across the globe is losing its revenue and slowly business. With invent of internet and facebook n twitter, majority of educated people are constantly in touch with news n are updated with happenings around the globe. Not many people hv time or inclination to read yesterday’s news these days. The younger generation increasingly are immune to news and papers. Even their education have become digital with computers and Ipads and Mobiles so it looks cumbersome to read a newspaper every morning. The iconic newspaper of world The New York Times is facing similar crisis as their revenue and readership is drying rapidly and it’s a tough race to survival. The major source of revenue for any newspaper is the advertisement and now soo many avenues for advertising product, its becoming increasingly difficult to shell out money for newspapers. The documentary talks abt the heritage of this iconic newspaper also its employees and the insecurity they face in daily life. It is a well made documentary with all real people talking abt their job and its first time any camera had such unprecedented access to the office of the newspaper. Watch it if u still love the good ol newspaper. I do.
