Details: The documentary Page One: A Year Inside "The New York Times" offers a rare look at the inner workings of the venerable news institution. But there's a twist. In 2009 and 2010, when Page One was filmed, The New York Times, and virtually all other print media, had presided for years over unprecedented losses in revenue, advertising, circulation, and even credibility. Ruinous decisions by Times management (allowing rogue reporter Judith Miller to run unsubstantiated stories about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction; enabling the dishonest writer Jayson Blair to publish story after story of nothing but lies) were compounded by the impact on all news media of the growth of digital media, online sources, and Twitter. So director Andrew Rossi decided to infiltrate the Times (with the Times' permission, of course) and focus on how it covered itself, and these crises, along with the changing media landscape. There are interviews with Times executive editor Bill Keller and managing editor Jill Abramson, as well as other masthead figures. But it's clear early on that there are two stars of this particular mini-drama--the coverage of media in the paper, and the proselytizing of the Times' continued relevance--David Carr, the irascible ex-junkie who covers media, and Brian Stelter, founder of the blog TVNewser, who is now on staff at the Times.
