Pioneered in France and England in the late 1800s, weekly ten-minute magazine-style compilations of filmed news events from around the world were known as newsreels.
A newsreel is a type of brief documentary film that was popular from the 1910s to the middle of the 1970s and features news stories and current events. Newsreels, which were typically shown in a theater, provided millions of moviegoers with current events, information and amusement. However, there were also dedicated newsreel theaters in many major cities in the 1930s and 1940s, and some large city cinema chains also included a relatively small theater where newsreels were continuously screened throughout the day. Newsreels were typically shown before a feature film. The format was replaced by television news broadcasts by the end of the 1960s. Newsreels are regarded as important historical records since they frequently serve as the only audiovisual documentation of specific cultural occurrences.
