Join Future Tense and Julia Turner, editor-in-chief of Slate magazine, for a screening of Network. The classic 鈥渕ad-as-hell鈥 1976 satire follows television execs ready to do anything to boost ratings鈥攊ncluding sacrificing traditional journalistic values and cashing in on a long-time news anchor going off the rails. The movie, which boasts four Academy Awards and was inducted into the Library of Congress鈥檚聽, remains a fixture of popular culture for what many call its prophetic depiction of where the news business was heading. Come judge for yourself.
