STRIPPED FOR PARTS: AMERICAN JOURNALISM ON THE BRINK
Following film screening, Q&A with two-time Academy Award nominated director Rick Goldsmith , moderated by journalist and filmmaker Steve Talbot. Stripped For Parts explores the hedge fund, Alden Global Capital, that 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?
