Newsreel

A Newsreel is a documentary film that is regularly released in a public presentation place containing filmed news stories.

This form of film was a staple of the typical North American cinema programming schedule from the silent era[?] until the 1960s when television news broadcasting completely supplanted its role.

The most easily viewable example of a typical newsreel story is in the film Citizen Kane, which includes a fictional newsreel that summarizes the life of the title character[?].

The most famous newsreel series included:

March of Time[?]
Movietone News[?]
