Title
Northwest Passage Productions / Fear and Favor in the Newsroom
Description
Back in 1990 we started work on FEAR AND FAVOR IN THE NEWSROOM, a documentary narrated by Studs Terkel which shows that ownership of the press by a small elite constricts the free flow of ideas and information upon which our democracy depends. We wondered to what extent the corporate influence over the mass media which we documented in the film was going to undermine our own ability to complete and then distribute the film to the public.
Well, seven years later we found those pressures have weighed on FEAR AND FAVOR IN THE NEWSROOM. We also found, however, that there are a considerable number of people who want to challenge the corporate stranglehold on the news, and those people have helped us bring FEAR AND FAVOR IN THE NEWSROOM to the public.
We made FEAR AND FAVOR IN THE NEWSROOM to challenge the pervasive assumption that the major news outlets provide us "fair" and "objective" reporting. Organizations such as Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) and Project Censored have long exposed the mainstream media's partiality to what can be termed a "Fortune 500" point of view. We hoped to use the medium of video to bring this analysis to a broader audience.
