A&E Television Networks, LLC. (Added Author). Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author).

Summary: A&E's Investigative Reports investigates one of New York City's most prominent and controversial newspapers, the New York Post. Host Bill Kurtis takes us inside its offices and looks at the tabloid that covers the gamut from analytical business reporting to vicious celebrity gossip. This documentary interviews staff writers, crime photographer "Calamity" Sam Costanza, and gossip columnist Richard Johnson. Managing Editor Marc Kalech is quoted saying, "We attack people who need attacking." This intriguing look into this kind of "journalism" raises questions about what we call "news."
