Film:Fear and Favor in the Newsroom

In the public eye, reporters will do anything for a story. Narrated by Studs Terkel, the film akes viewers behind the scenes to shatter this myth and shows for the first time on film how ownership of the press by a small corporate elite constricts the free flow of ideas and information upon which our democracy depends. Journalists, including four Pulitzer Prize winners, from The New York Times, NBC, PBS and other respected news organizations reveal how they have been censored, squelched or fired for aggressively reporting on the wealthy and the powerful. 60 min, 1997
