Stop The Presses Movie Trailer
Be Brave Productions presents Stop The Presses
Stop The Presses film documents the end of life printed daily by The Tampa Tribune. Filmmaker Deborah Kerr and her crew were filming a day in the life of a newspaper when the company unraveled and its owners sold the 121 year old institution to a longtime local competitor ending a newspaper war and contributing to to the death spiral of local journalism around the country. In this film you'll hear from former employees in News, Advertising, Circulation, Packaging and the Press Room about the stark reality of what is happening in the newspaper industry and the final effects on the lives of more than 600 employees who lost their jobs and the readers left bereft of community news when The Tampa Tribune stopped hitting their driveway.
