Papers cover themselves

The day after the Alabama Media Group was announced as the new focus of the three largest newsrooms in the state, these are the stories they ran on themselves.

A documentary on something forgotten

Dr. Martin found this one. Sounds like a great premise. Eating Alabama will premiere at SXSW. :

In search of a simpler life, a young couple returns home to Alabama where they set out to eat the way their grandparents did – locally and seasonally. But as they navigate the agro-industrial gastronomical complex, they soon realize that nearly everything about the food system has changed since farmers once populated their family histories. A thoughtful and often funny essay on community, the South and sustainability, “Eating Alabama” is a story about why food matters.

Here’s the trailer, including a great quote “That information has been lost.”

No matter your medium, that’s what storytelling should really be about.
