An article this week in the Poynter Institute’s newsletter alerted me to an upcoming national premier of “Storm Lake,” a PBS documentary about the family-run newspaper, The Storm Lake Times, coming up on Nov. 15. That led me to PBS’ website for an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Independent Lens documentary. “Storm Lake is about all things big and small,” writes Craig Phillips in the Filmmaker Q&A piece. “It’s about a family-run newspaper, still printing in an era when even larger city newspapers are going away, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning editor/patriarch [Art Cullen] at the center of it.” The process of filming the documentary had a huge impact on them, said filmmakers Beth Levison and Jerry Risius, “as we’re not sure we had any idea how busy, deadline-driven, and critically important a local newsroom could be. Making the film definitely challenged our assumptions about local news — its gathering and community role — and we hope that the film has this same impact on our audiences.” The film premieres on Monday evening at 9 p.m. on Iowa PBS.
