Page One: Inside the New York Times is a new documentary about the challenges facing the famous US newspaper in the digital age.

Director Andrew Rossi was granted access to parts of the paper during an eventful year, which included the Wikileaks affair, US troops pulling out of Iraq (sort of), the decline of US print journalism and the rise of social media platforms including Twitter.

As certain US papers go out of business, the film also focuses on two contrasting media reporters, David Carr and Bryan Stelter, as they report on the realities of the Internet era and the struggles their paper faces.

Andrew Rossi previously directed the HBO documentary Le Cirque: A Table In Heaven (2007) and was was also associate producer on Control Room (2004).

I spoke with him recently in London about the film and the related issues surrounding it.
