This documentary is little more than a prayer for the dying. Just as the printing press revolutionized book publishing the internet will revolutionize the news business. This documentary does little to convey just where The New York Times will fit into this new paradigm if at all.

Pretty interesting to see the new era of media moving in and the old out. However, it's not without a fight. Carr points out some very hard facts about new media journalists.

The film offers an interesting looking to the world of the New York Times struggling to deal with a changing new media world. It appears that the film maker attempted to first make a film about David Carr, the reformed crack cocaine/single parent on welfare/now a writer for the New York Times but opened the perspective to the Media Desk. Carr's arrogance, foul language and hoarse smokers voice is a real turnoff despite his impressive diction and writing skills. Oddly as the film is lamenting the near death of Times, tearful staff layoffs, the film never asks why does the Wall Street Journal continue to gain in circulation and web viewers.

This is what journalism has become? Much better docs on iTunes.

The documentary is a fair overview on this remarkable Newspaper. It is gives you the sense of the importance of the work that investigative journalism is. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that so few women were interviewed and from that apperace it looked as very few women work at the Times?

What a knock out! A must see. Grabs your attention from the beginning. Outstanding. It's a film with very real implications and relevant questions for our time. But it is also put forth as a very interesting story with wonderful, truly likable people. Even the ones I didnt Iike were fascinating. So much better than anything I've seen lately in documentaries. So different from what I expected. You will not be sorry whether you buy or rent this! (btw I am 30 and I don't read newspapers. This is something younger people should see. I and many younger people i know or follow in blogs take the availability of news for granted. We seem to believe we are entitled to free news, free music, etc. There are consequences. We pay for what we get.)
