Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink is the story of one secretive hedge fund plundering America’s newspapers and the journalists fighting back. Investigative reporter Julie Reynolds, Denver Post editorialist Chuck Plunkett, and a handful of others, backed by the NewsGuild union, go toe-to-toe with the faceless Alden Global Capital in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism across America. Who will control the future of America’s new ecosystem? Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service and the lifeblood of our democracy?
