News Without a Newsroom (2025)

News Without a Newsroom is a compelling feature-length documentary capturing journalism’s transformation in an era of digital upheaval and shrinking trust. It begins in the golden age of local news, evoking the energy of bustling newsrooms, before tracing their decline in the wake of advertising losses, algorithmic content delivery, and political interference. The film confronts the threats posed by artificial intelligence and deepfake technologies, then highlights a movement of grassroots, nonprofit, and independent outlets innovating to restore public trust.

At its core, the documentary is a visual and emotional journey through the voices of veteran journalists, young storytellers, and the communities who still depend on them. It urges audiences to support journalism-not just as consumers, but as citizens safeguarding democracy.
