Jen Senko, the journalist/daughter in the documentary, and I are Twitter friends. I've attended a couple of Zoom panels on media issues with her in the last couple of months.

Another good documentary (available on Amazon) is Broadcast Blues, directed by Sue Wilson. She was another of the panelists in those Zoom events.
