New Film Series in Palm Springs to Explore Journalism Through Classic Movies

A new film series coming to Palm Springs this fall will explore the history and impact of journalism through some of Hollywood's most acclaimed movies.

The Palm Springs Cultural Center will host "Bylines, Broadcasts and the Big Screen" from September through April, featuring classic films centered around the world of news reporting and media.

The lineup includes Citizen Kane, Network, Good Night and Good Luck and All the President's Men.

Following each screening, audiences will have the opportunity to take part in discussions with notable journalists and media figures, including Carl Bernstein, former 60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman, New York Times reporter Megan Twohey and entertainment journalist Dave Carger.

Organizers say the series will highlight the important role journalism has played in shaping history while giving audiences a closer look at the people and stories behind the headlines.

Individual screening tickets will go on sale July 27 through the Palm Springs Cultural Center's website.
