AY Press Coverage on IFC on December 9th
New program, IFC Media Project, takes a look at the New York papers'
coverage of Atlantic Yards on December 9th.
Unreliable
Sources EPISODE 4
Premieres Tuesday, December 9 @ 8:00 PM ET
The first part of this episode critiques the press coverage of the looming economic
crisis on Wall Street. The feature piece looks at how New York's three major daily
papers failed to critically cover the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn, and
is a case study in how big business controls the news.
Atlantic Yards (10min)
New York has three major daily papers all competing for readers, advertisers and
power. This should lead to great coverage of major stories – but in the
case of one story at least, it hasn't. Atlantic Yards is one of the biggest real
estate developments in the city's history, yet the three papers have barely scratched
the surface. In this piece we examine how government collusion with the developer
and the developer's business ties to the paper have resulted in a half-told story
that's failed to serve the public interest.
