Released twice a week, less than ten minutes long, each had news footage that combined journalism with entertainment.

This history details the full span of the American newsreel from 1911 to 1967, discussing the European forerunners, changes in the American version over time, and the ethical and unethical use of newsreels in present-day television documentaries.
