  • Played by the Mighty Wurlitzer the Press, the CIA, and the Subversion of Truth
    CHAPTER 6 Played by the Mighty Wurlitzer The Press, the CIA, and the Subversion of Truth Brian Covert A journalist in the US specializing in national security issues, Ken Dilanian, found himself under the harsh glare of the media spotlight in September 2014, when it was revealed that he had been collabo- rating with press officers of the United States government’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the shaping and publishing of his news stories for the Los Angeles Times, one of the most influential daily newspapers in the nation. An exposé by the Intercept online magazine showed how, in pri- vate e-mail messages to CIA public affairs staff, Dilanian had not only shared entire drafts of his stories with the agency prior to publication, but had also offered to write up for the CIA on at least one occasion a story on controversial US drone strikes overseas that would be “reas- suring to the public” and “a good opportunity” for the CIA to put its spin on the issue.1 And Dilanian was not alone. Other e-mail messages, though heavily redacted by the CIA, showed that reporters from other major US news organizations likewise had cooperative relationships with the agency. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean that same month, a veteran journalist in Germany was blowing the whistle on his own profes- sion. Udo Ulfkotte, a former news editor with the Frankfurter Allge- meine Zeitung, one of the largest newspapers in Germany, revealed how he had cooperated over the years with the German Federal Intel- ligence Service and the CIA itself in the planting

    Discussion Guide West 47th Street A Film by Bill Lichtenstein and June Peoples www.pbs.org/pov Discussion Guide | West 47th Street Letter From The Filmmakers NEW YORK, 2003 A note from Bill… When I was first diagnosed with manic depression in 1986, I did what many people do when they first encounter a difficult or life changing event. I went to the self-help section at Barnes and Noble. I was surprised to find only a single book on the illness, the 1975 paperback Moodswing, which chronicled the introduction of lithium to treat the disorder. Although I had never heard of manic depression previously, nor met anyone who had it, my mother assured me that it was possible to recover from it based in large part on the fact that she had read that the playwright and director, Joshua Logan (South Pacific, Mr. Roberts) had manic depression, and had been able to continue working. But for years, that’s all I would know about the illness. As I began to get better, I sought out documentary films about people who had recovered, but the only ones I could find were about people who were very ill or psychotic. In part that’s because there is nothing more sensational than watching someone who is psychotic on film. It is exciting and unpredictable. However, it tells you nothing about the nature of the illness, or what it is like to get sick and get better, or even that getting better is possible. And so I did what I had done for nearly 20 years at that point – I started to work.

  • New Framework Design of Documentary Film Production Sub
    Title Growing documentary : new framework design of documentary film production Sub Title Author Pratiwi, Annisa Mahdia(Inakage, Masahiko) 稲蔭, 正彦 Publisher 慶應義塾大学大学院メディアデザイン研究科 Publication year 2012 Jtitle Abstract Documentary films have become very important ways of bringing in edutainment, that is they are used as a tool to not only inform but educate people. These forms of edutainment could also be used to help change the world into a better place while enlightening the world as to what is going on around them as is one of the objectives of the Growing documentary. The growing documentary even gives the audience a chance to contribute to the story being told and to sharpen their film production skills. Growing documentary is a unique concept of producing a documentary film. The content from one film can continue to develop and lead to another documentary film within the same path. Growing documentary involves many people from different background as crowd resources personnel to provide data, which could help to build the documentary itself. One of its main aims is to facilitate user collaboration in documentary film production that can grow depending on the audience's feedback and crowd sourcing. The author and her team were involved in the grand design and on the production. From the testing of the production by the the filmmaker and the audience, it shows that growing documentary has a possibility to have its own market and grow as it was able to produce high quality production/film despite the limited amount of time and resources. This research also revealed that it generated the effectiveness of the production work flow and networking between the collaborators.
