BCTV Summer Film Series at Boscov Theater: ‘Stripped for Parts: Journalism on the Brink’
Advertisement
BCTV hosts a four-film series in honor of the organization’s 50th anniversary, showing four films that honor community media, public media, public access, and local news in different, unique ways.
Films will be shown at the Boscov Theater located within the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts at 201 Washington St. in Reading. Films will be shown at 7 p.m., and tickets are $10.00.
This timely documentary details how the hedge fund Alden Global Capital buys local, financially struggling newspapers and guts their reporting, damaging their editorial output in the process. Director Rick Goldsmith assembles an ensemble of journalists who take you inside the machine.
The documentary boldly asks the question, “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?”
