The Ink of History: A Film About the News Industry's Past and Our Present The recent premiere of Danny Boyle's film Ink at the Telluride Film Festival has reignited interest in the history of the British news industry, particularly its tumultuous 1960s heyday.
This period may seem like a relic of the past, but parallels between then and now are striking – not just in struggles with truth and power, but also in how we consume and interact with information.
Boyle's film is more than a nostalgic look at Fleet Street's golden age; it's an origin story that explores how key figures like Rupert Murdoch and Larry Lamb shaped the news landscape.
