Page One: Inside the New York Times.

David Carr is one journalist I would love to meet.

Last week our CreComm classes went to watch a movie about The New York Times. At first of course none of us were all that excited with the idea that we had to finish our week off and start our weekend with watching a documentary.

This documentary was not like any other boring documentary, it was actually extremely insightful and pretty funny. We got to take a look inside the New York Times Newspaper and how it's run. The documentary mainly follows David Carr as he investigates the downfall of a competing newspaper and shows how journalists and editors get their facts for stories.

They did everything in this movie from phone calls and e-mails to their sources as far as TWEETING about the current headlines and stories that the Times was working on.

The reason I enjoyed David Carr so much was because he was just so legit. If he was sitting down in an interview with someone and they pissed him off, he would straight up bite their head off, he was ruthless! He also stole my heart during a segment of the film when he was in a debate against a website editor and proved to the audience that the website was stealing all of the Times original material.

If you ever want to become a good journalist my suggestion is watch this movie and take some notes on how David Carr does his work, you gotta be willing to dig deep down and thats what Carr is all about. Of course there were other journalists and editors present in the film but for me Carr is the one that left a lasting impression in my head. Carr turned my thoughts about a career in journalism from doubtful ones to inspiring ones.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone that wants a good laugh.
TEN THUMBS UP!
