Get me Rewrite! Newspapers in the Movies Night at the Bing! Please join us on Jan. 14 for an unforgettable movie night !
You’ll meet Humphrey Bogart, an editor fighting to save his beloved paper (sound familiar?) in the 1952 classic, “Deadline USA.” You’ll go behind the headlines in “The Paper,” “All the President’s Men,” “The Soloist,” “His Girl Friday, ”and the Oscar-winning “Spotlight.” Who could forget City Editor “Lou Grant”? Or that “Superman” was actually a mild-mannered newspaper reporter who moonlighted as a super hero?
Hosted by Spokesman-Review Editor Rob Curley and featuring special guest authors, this will be an evening of surprises and serendipity as we dive into memorable films and TV shows that capture journalism at its relentless best.
Newspapers in the Movies Night is a celebration of truth, justice and storytelling brought to you by The Spokesman-Review– and the timing feels just right. After 142 years of family ownership, our hometown newspaper is transitioning into one of the nation’s first community-owned dailies.
The Spokesman-Review is the flagship publication of the new nonprofit, Comma Community Journalism Lab. Comma begins in Spokane, with its storied history of supporting local journalism, but this is just the start. We’re building a model for saving and strengthening community journalism throughout America.
Hmmm. Maybe they should make a movie about that!
