Joe Saltzman (University of Southern California), has curated and created three videos of almost 23 hours of content that capture long-lost images of the journalist in silent film for the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture project at USC Annenberg. The first video features excerpts from 56 movies from 1890 to 1919. The next two include excerpts from 150 movies from 1920-1929 and cover celebrity journalists, newsboys, and newspapers. The videos complement Saltzman’s five-year landmark study of The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929, Parts One and Two, which contains an analysis of 3,462 silent films.
