In an era when newspapers are becoming increasingly obsolete, director Andre Rossi offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the newsroom that has kept America informed for generations yet now struggles to remain relevant as more readers turn to the Internet to stay informed on current events.

Bill Cunningham is a fashion photographer, but unlike most in his profession, he rarely spends a day in a photo studio. Cunningham's work has been a long-time fixture in The New York Times; in his "Evening Hours" column, he presents pictures he's snapped of the wealthy and influential and what they're wearing to social events, while "On the Street" documents bold and individual looks worn by everyday people on the sidewalks of New York City. Filmmaker Richard Press offers a look into the life and art of this influential figure in the documentary Bill Cunningham New York, which follows him as he works and tries to reveal what makes this unique artist tick.
