“A doco for both these technological and recessionary times.” ~AroVideo

Aroview: Resonating well beyond the parameters of the news industry, this doco sends out a warning shot on behalf of its beleaguered iconic subject - The New York Times - a beacon of quality and integrity whose traditional business model is being threatened by news competitors and aggregators with little or no journalistic overheads.

Firmly in the old school camp is irascible reporter David Carr, whose memorable character shows little time for nonsense, let alone social networking. A subject that is close to our heart as the cheap and cheerful imitators colonize the space formerly held by innovators and artisans like Carr, this is a doco for both these technological and recessionary times.
