2-Time Academy Award Nominee Rick Goldsmith, Director of Stripped For Parts, American Journalism On The Brink
Description
On The Journalism Salute we talk to journalists about who they are and what they do, with the intent of showing that journalists are not the enemy of the people.
On this episode, we're joined by Rick Goldsmith. Rick is a 2-time Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker. His most recent film, Stripped For Parts, American Journalism On The Brink is streaming on PBS.com through the end of 2025 and is scheduled for airing on many local PBS stations on October 20.
We talked to Rick both about the movie and how he made it. We explored why Alden Global Capital is so dangerous and what people are doing to fight back against them. Rick also provided advice for aspiring documentary filmmakers.
And then (35:29 ) we checked in with Anita Pinto, speech therapist and student newspaper advisor at Urban Assembly Gateway School for Technology in New York City, who shared the growing success of the school's second-year newspaper.
Here's a link to Anita's appearance on the podcast a month ago
