A topic that’s near and dear to our overworked, underpaid hearts is the newspaper industry, or what’s left of it. So we’re pretty stoked about Vancity Theatre’s upcoming film series Stop the Presses! Jan. 27 to Feb. 2. Presented by the Globe and Mail, the program features 10 films concerning the world of newspapers, from investigative journalism and tabloid fodder to scandal and perky secretaries, with special introductions from local journalists and editors. Highlights include Citizen Kane, All the President’s Men, His Girl Friday, Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times, Shattered Glass and Errol Morris’s latest rollicking documentary Tabloid. Although it’s not included in the program, may we also suggest checking out another NY Times-related flick, the thoroughly touching doc Bill Cunningham New York, which should be available on DVD.
