NY Times Media Desk Could Be Subject of HBO Documentary NY Observer

Filmmaker Andrew Rossi (“Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven”) has been tailing some New York Times media reporters for a possible documentary, the New York Observer reports.

Rossi, who has a development deal with HBO, said he’s interested in how the media reporters’ focus on the bad news roiling the business could have a “negative psychic effect.”

“He watches me edit, watches me write, watches me write e-mails, watches me tweet, watches me do interviews,” TV reporter Brian Stelter told the Observer. “There are some days that are going to be more exciting.”
