Seminar Description

5:00 to 6:30 pm, Deadline - U.S.A. (1952) Considered by many as one of the best newspaper movies ever made, this hard-hitting, gritty film follows the crusading editor of a big city newspaper struggling to keep it from going under. Murder! Corruption! Bogart! Don’t miss it.

6:30 to 8:30 pm, The Paper (1994). A highly entertaining journalism thriller from director Ron Howard, this action-packed snapshot of 24 hours inside a New York City tabloid stars Michael Keaton as the harried metro editor on the brink of losing everything. With Robert Duvall and Glenn Close in a deliciously over-the-top performance.
