Synopsis

Black and White and Dead All Over is an in-depth look at the newspaper industry as it struggles to remain financially viable and to keep the presses rolling. Through the voices of prominent journalists including Bob Woodward of the Washington Post and David Carr of the New York Times, we reveal an industry in the midst of a financial death spiral, as readers abandon print for on-line news sources. We see publishers and editors desperately trying to create a sustainable business model for their dying papers. If the American newspaper dies, who will conduct investigative journalism, who will hold public officials accountable?
