Talk:Newsreel

Untitled
There is very little info on each of these. I would suggest putting info on this page rather than creating new articles until there's more-than-a-stub.Zosodada 17:38, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Citation on invention
The un-sourced "created in 1908" is confusing -- as I understand it, though there were news films as far back as the 1890s, the "newsreel" began when Pathe began distributing weekly in 1910. Cf: http://sunnycv.com/steve/filmnotes/newsreel.html

Let me know if anyone has more info. Grahamtalk/mail/ e 15:38, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Daily Bioscope
The cinema "Daily Bioscope" is given a foundation date in 1909 but this source lists May 1906: https://thebioscope.net/2010/08/30/the-london-project-2/

Either way, that's before newsreels were invented in a form we'd call "newsreels." Grahamtalk/mail/ e 15:47, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
