SFIFF54: 'Page One'

Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times: The collapse of advertising revenue, exploding competition, the 'End Times' debacle, Judith Miller, David Carr, Wikileaks, Twitter ... it's all in this bright, relevant, fast-moving, and at times very funny documentary about the recent travails of the NYTimes. The film's pro-Times ("good journalism/the public trust") sentiments are clear, and there isn't enough coverage of the alternative view, but it's still an unprecedented inside look at one of our most beloved institutions as it confronts the specter of its own extinction.
