Synopsis:

Reporting on The Times is a short documentary film inspired
 by Laurel Leff’s award-winning book Buried by The Times.  The film
 explores how The New York Times handled reports of The
 Holocaust during World War II.  It also investigates why The Times, a 
Jewish owned newspaper, buried more than one thousand articles 
in its back pages.  Was it simply an oversight?  Or did the publishers
 and editors fear an American anti-Semitic backlash?  Through interviews and testimony of a Holocaust survivor, historians, and New York Times journalists, Reporting on The Times encourages audiences to re-evaluate America’s place as ‘The Great Liberator.’  The film also asks viewers to consider the power of the press in creating change.
