The loss of local news threatens democracy and communities.

This film reveals the causes and consequences of the loss and lack of local journalism.

 

Rick Goldsmith, film Producer & Director, will facilitate online conversation after the film.

 

“Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is quietly gobbling up newspapers across the country and gutting them, but no one knows why-- until journalist Julie Reynolds begins to investigate.

Who will control the future of America’s news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service, the lifeblood of our democracy?
