Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink

Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is quietly gobbling up newspapers across the country and gutting them. No one knows why, until journalist Julie Reynolds begins to investigate. Her in-depth reporting, over several years, triggers rebellions across the country by journalists working at Alden-owned newspapers. Backed by the NewsGuild union, the newsmen and women go toe-to-toe with their “vulture capitalist” owners in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism in America. Who will control the future of America’s news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit OR those who see journalism as an essential public service and the lifeblood of our democracy?
