Film critic Marshall Fine takes a look at two films which deal with – ‘if indirectly’ – the crisis in newspapers.
Using his own experiences, Fine makes wider points about the newspaper industry, as well as sharing his thoughts on the new releases:
“‘The Soloist’ and ‘State of Play’ both make valid and valuable points – as far as they go. By the time a movie tells the whole story of what’s happened to newspapers, however, it will probably be too late.”
