Anyone remotely interested in the business of media, politics, journalism – particularly at the New York Times – needs to track down ‘Page One: Inside the New York Times.’ The 2011 documentary spans the WikiLeaks saga, Comcast/GE deal, and bankruptcies at daily newspapers across the US, all while examining the rapid shift from printed word to Tweet.

It’s an unusually inside look at the NYT war rooms, particular the media desk, creating something of a meta “media covering media covering media” story that stays surprisingly clear and focused. Particularly compelling is David Carr, the straight-shooting reporter (and former crack addict) who ends up as the unlikely protagonist, defending the NYT while sparring with representatives from new media entities like Gawker.

Whether you’re a senior White House correspondent or aspiring music blogger, I’d highly advise you to set aside two hours for ‘Page One.’
