The IFC Media Project Economics and News
This episode focuses on the state of the media in the current economy. Now that our country is in a state of crisis, can media outlets - and the news as we know it - survive? Multiple case studies and perspectives are presented from former media insiders on how media outlets have been forced to change financially, and which ones are benefiting most from the digital shift. This episode's mini-feature chronicles the death of the Rocky Mountain News after 149 years of existence. Told from the point of view of John Temple, Rocky Mountain News editor and publisher, this essay piece draws on footage shot between the day the closure was announced and the day the paper shut its doors for good.
A fresh, unapologetic and frequently very funny perspective on a variety of issues affecting accurate, balanced reporting from leading news outlets.
