1A Film Series Sponsorship Opportunities

1A film series graphic that says: Normal Theater, free, doors 6 p.m., showtime 7 p.m. View some all-time great films championing a free press. Meet members of the WGLT newsroom.

In celebration of WGLT’s 60th anniversary, WGLT will host a series for the community featuring a few all-time great movies highlighting the importance of a free press.

We selected films exploring themes including who controls the news, how large investigations come together, and how newsrooms respond to political pressures. Plus, meet members of the WGLT newsroom before the movie and ask your news questions.

This event is free and open to the campus and community. We are offering opportunities for local organizations to help underwrite the event and reach the WGLT audience in-person, on-air, and on WGLT.org.
