subtitle: SUNDAYS IN NOVEMBER IMC FUNDRAISING FILM SERIES
title:  Defining corporate influence on the news, "Fear and Favor in the Newsroom" screens at the IMC

text: Studs Terkel opens the documentary "Fear and Favor in the Newsroom" by noting there’s only one profession covered by the U.S. Constitution—"and that’s the press."  It’s the job of the press to report on those in power because it takes an informed public to make a democracy. But what happens when those in power own the press? How do abuses of power get reported back to the public? More and more, Terkel notes, the press and the powerful are becoming one and the same. <a href="http://seattle.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=35742&group=webcast">More information.</a>
