THE MEDIA, an independent documentary examining the American News, trusted purveyor of truth to anything but? How did we go from the hallowed days of Edward R. Murrow, Douglas Edwards, Peter Jennings, Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, to today’s growing distrust and contempt of the news?” Why did we go from three networks to six giant corporations controlling an estimated 90% of our media and from even-tempered treatment on TV and Radio to fluffy news light and cheap shouting attacks larded with commercials? Can the new Congress and FCC reverse 25 years of deregulation? THE MEDIA focuses on renowned journalists of the past and present, interwoven with analysts, academics, regulators and activist to ponder the future state of news and the internet.
