Epigraph
"Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination."
—Werner Herzog
About the Film
Assuming “fact” is the modern currency of television news, the “truth” about television news can be explored through the lives of those who deliver it. Staking our professional, journalistic credibility on the sole conviction that when the camera stops rolling the real story begins—we set out to explore that truth in the documentary entitled Newsman.
