Join the San Francisco Public Press at the Roxie on March 13, for a special fundraising screening of “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink,” a documentary by two-time Academy Award-nominee Rick Goldsmith.
About 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. Her findings trigger rebellions across the country by journalists working at Alden-owned newspapers. Backed by the NewsGuild union, the newsmen and women go toe-to-toe with their “vulture capitalist” owners in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism in America.
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?
