To Tell the Truth: The Intersection of Non-Fiction and News
Documentary filmmakers and non-fiction producers working on current affairs content have joined the ranks of top news journalists as trusted voices and valued perspectives in recent years. 24/7 news networks creating slates of long form originals vie for buzzworthy, topical content with general entertainment OTT players and major cable nets expanding their brand offerings.
