Indie Lens Pop-Up: Breaking the News Directed by Heather Courtney, Princess A. Hairston, and Chelsea Hernandez 2023, USA, 65 min

Who decides which stories get told? A scrappy group of women and LGBTQ+ journalists buck the white male-dominated status quo, banding together to launch The 19th*, a digital news startup aiming to combat misinformation. A story of an America in flux, and the voices often left out of the narrative, the documentary Breaking the News shows change doesn’t come easy.

Breaking the News will premiere on KLRN on February 19, 2024. For additional information visit MonteVideo210.org.
