Description:
This leading industry publication, published out of New York, was founded in 1915 by Wid Gunning (who called his publication Wid's Daily until 1922). The Film Daily documented the rise of the Hollywood studios, the transition to sound, and the evolution of the American film industry (the paper finally shuttered in 1970). The Film Daily included feature reviews, news stories, and advertisements, but its extensive coverage of short films in the 1920s and 30s distinguished it from other trade papers of the period. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011/2013

: Through him . . .West meets East ACROSS his "front page" the world parades . . . before the eyes of moviegoers on Main Street. There, West and East do meet — through the highly specialized efforts of the newsreel editor. He sifts the facts and foibles of the world . . . and presents in one short reel the significant, the human, and the odd — the news that helps the world to know itself. To his objectivity . . . his sense of the newsworthy . . . his feeling for concise and graphic storytelling . . . the newsreel owes its unique place in American journalism. Yet the newsreel editor would be the first to give due credit to his staff of cameramen . . . and to the Eastman motion picture films which help them cover the news — and help him present it so effectively.
