“Stripped for Parts does exactly what a good socially conscious documentary should do– identifies an urgent problem, explains how we got here, why it matters, and, most important, considers what we should do about it.” — Victor Pickard, Professor of Media Policy and Political Economy, University of Pennsylvania

“Goldsmith is an amazing storyteller, able to take the important and little-understood topic about how US newspapers are being destroyed by corporate greed and explain it in a compelling way.  Everyone in a community that is vulnerable to the loss of their journalistic “voice” needs to watch Stripped for Parts.” — Mike Blinder, Publisher of Editor & Publisher Magazine (E&P)

“Stripped for Parts is like a creepy horror movie, where the villain is a hedge fund that purports to care about journalism but instead gobbles up newspaper after newspaper and proceeds to cannibalize them with gruesome efficiency. The plot twist is how those inside this particular house — reporters and editors — improbably band together to fight back.” — David Barstow, New York Times investigative reporter and 4-time Pulitzer Prize winner

“A fire is raging inside the theater of local media and democracy, and Goldsmith’s film is the alarm bell we had better heed.” —Thomas N. Gardner, PhD, Professor of Communication, Westfield State University 

“The public finally has a documentary that clearly shows what has happened, and is still happening, to local news, while giving hope that the numerous nonprofit newsrooms starting up around the nation may restore some of what is being lost.” — Brant Houston, Journalism Dept, College of Media, U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
