The Paper (2007)
Movie"A fresh look at the American media"
The Paper is a documentary about The Daily Collegian, a student run newspaper at Pennsylvania State University. It looks at the challenges of modern journalism through the staff of a university newspaper. The young journalists struggle with all the problems of other regional and national newspapers: declining circulation, impediments to investigative reporting and critical response of the coverage. While at one level it portrays the challenges journalists, it's also a study of students learning the craft of journalism.
