It primarily focuses on hardships within the ''Philadelphia Daily News'', a 90-year-old newspaper that has undergone numerous ownership changes and bankruptcy proceedings in the past decade. The film showcases the work of Laker and Ruderman, investigative reporters for the paper, as they work their beats in low-income North Philadelphia neighborhoods. Through on-camera interviews with other Philadelphia journalism leaders and review of media coverage of the paper’s numerous changes in ownership, the film paints a picture in which shoe-leather reporting is devalued in the quest for corporate profits. To expand the discussion nationally, the film features interviews with notable journalists Bob Woodward, Charles Lewis, and David Carr. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black and White and Dead All Over (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
