Mostly, though, this is a solid tribute to one of the most commanding forces an old-school newsroom has ever seen.

Chronicling its subject's life and career in fascinating detail, The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee will prove catnip to journalism and political buffs, not to mention anyone who cares about the free press and its role in our democracy.

For a 90-minute documentary, The Newspaper Man does fine work in a short time frame.
Rated: 3.5/5

If anything, The Newspaperman is a reminder that we all might benefit from boasting the same determination to expose lies that Bradlee did.

Respectable documentary about an interesting subject. Real life All the President's Men - but a lot more. Old school news hounds - they were a helluva thing. 8 out of 10
