What is the newsletter?
on the days before Television Network News, CNN, Fox News and the Internet, many people have gained most of their world news from Newsreel in movies. The novelty was a compilation of world news stories, serious and funny, that various film studios were compiled and released with her films in theaters. Although the quiet, news speaker gave an ordinary person to look into life outside the limits of his city. Most people had a radio and listened to national and world news there, but the novelty allowed them to see the news. Newsreel can be said to be the predecessor of news programs for network television and entertainment.
The first news "Taltie" was exhibited in 1926 and then five companies were made by films: Fox Movietone, Paramount, Universal, Warner-Path and Hearst Metrotone. When the jazz singer premiered in 1929d became Bona Fide Hit, which proves that the future of films was in sound, more theaters of installed sound devices installed and also showed news with sound. In 1929 Fox introduced the New York Theater in New York and the concept really caught up in Europe and Asia.
Since film studios were responsible for the content of the rapporteurs, sometimes leaned the news and sometimes even introduced events for their cameras. Several societies were guilty of this in the First World War. However, many cameramen and reporters were honorary journalists and left with incredible shots of historical events. Most people believed that Paramount had the most balanced news, while Hearst-Metrotone, released by MGM, was considered the most oblique.
Newsreel has an important place in the history of photojournalism and also as a historical archive. In front of the network reporters, the camcorders on the battlefields, Newsreel reporters, were in Foxhols and filmed shots that have precisely recorded history. Where else could the average person see movies of such events as the coronation of EnglandKing's King George VI, or signing the Japanese surrender on board USS Missouri? Now we consider it common, but 75 years ago it was amazing. When the last Universal Newsreel was released in 1967, it was really the end of the cinema era.
