Seniors in Media Studies recently watched the Disney movie "Newsies" as a prelude to our study of the print media industries. The movie, which is a musical, is based on the true story of NYC newboys going on strike against one of the most powerful men in the world, Joseph Pulitzer. Many aspects of the movie are historically accurate, and it gives a really good view of newspapers and journalism in that time frame. Also, it features Christian Bale in one of his earlier roles as Jack Kelly.
