Page One: A Year Inside The New York Times
"We need institutions," a subject argues in Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times, and it's a position also held by director Andrew Rossi's fleet, timely assessment of the ongoing crisis in journalism. Handily synthesizing more than a year's worth of stories and setbacks at America's paper of record, this efficiently assembled primer (...) will engross anyone for whom the viability of traditional newsgathering remains a matter of pressing significance
[T]he paper's handling of the controversial WikiLeaks story, spearheaded by blogger-turned-Timesman Brian Stelter, raises questions about the relevance of print media in an era when the Internet has enabled the dissemination of classified materials as never before.
(...) the Times has its loudest advocate and biggest rock star in David Carr, the brilliant, sometimes irascible veteran reporter whose frog-throated charisma threatens to hijack the film altogether. Whether he's putting aggregators like Newser's Michael Wolff in their place or simply letting Rossi observe his day-to-day reporting, Carr is easily Page One's most memorable camera subject.
