STRIPPED FOR PARTS: AMERICAN JOURNALISM ON THE BRINK
(1/90) NEW

Close   

Documentary  TV-PG

Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is quietly gobbling up newspapers nationwide and gutting them, but no one knows why – that is, 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 fight to save and rebuild local journalism in America. STRIPPED FOR PARTS: AMERICAN JOURNALISM ON THE BRINK tells the story of a critical battle in the movement to protect freedom of the press, the lifeblood of democracy.
