"The Mighty Marvel Masterworks invite you to venture back to the first stories that were ever told featuring Marvel's Black Panther! And what stories they are! They feature: T'Challa's early days with the Avengers as he helps them fight the Man-Ape and the Lethal Legion; a deeper dive into his origins as the Black Panther; a tale that pits two of Marvel's most skilled scientific minds against each other as the noble Black Panther battles the evil Doctor Doom; an iconic tale featuring the Panther and the FF standing against the forces of prejudice; team-ups with Daredevil and Spider-Man to save New York City from both street gangs and stegosaurus; and multiple clashes with his nemesis Klaw."--

The film looks at the debates over the role of journalism; the relationship between the Bush administration and the press; the controversies surrounding the use of anonymous sources in reporting; and the unintended consequences of the Valerie Plame investigation -- a confusing, ugly affair that ultimately damaged the legal protections reporters' thought they enjoyed under the First Amendment. Part 2 continues with the legal jeopardy faced by a number of reporters across the country, and the complications generated by the war on terror. Many reporters face jail for refusing to reveal sources in the context of leak investigations, while editors of the nation's leading newspapers now confront the question of how much can the press reveal about secret government programs in that war without jeopardizing national security? In What's Happening to the News (Pt. 3), network executives, journalists, Wall Street analysts, bloggers, and key players at Google and Yahoo! explain the battle for survival in a rapidly changing world. The embattled Los Angeles Times, one of the last remaining papers in the country still covering major national stories, is profiled. The Frontline/World (4th) segment focuses on two stories. The first is on new Arab media and its role in both mitigating and exacerbating the clash between the West and Islam. Al Jazeera has changed the face of a parochial and tightly controlled Arab media, and this hour explores Al Jazeera's growing influence around the world. The second is a video essay on journalists worldwide, which details how in many countries the press has been suppressed, and journalists have been jailed, exiled, and murdered.DVD, Region 1, Stereo, widescreen presentation, enhanced for 16x9 televisions.
