Premiere for the documentary film "The Power of the Newspaper: Detroit in the 1960s."
From the creators of The Detroit History Podcast comes a documentary about how the Detroit newspapers covered the 1960s. Not only was it a pivotal time for Detroit, but it was the decade of a media revolution in local TV news. Did this decade in media give us a foreshadowing of the current state of news? “The Power of the Newspaper, Detroit in the 1960s,” explores this momentous time in Detroit history, and tries to answer these questions.
