Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln is getting quite the buzz as the countdown continues to the November 9 released date. Today, DreamWorks Studios has unveiled the official poster for Lincoln, Starring never work unless he wants to Daniel Day-Lewis as the title role. Sally Field, David Strathairn, David Oyelowo, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader and Tommy Lee Jones also join Lewis (a two time Oscar winner) to tell the story of our 16th President’s trials and tribulations while in office.

Lincoln focuses on Abraham’s tenure as President and the turbulent months he endured with seemingly incompetent members in his cabinet.  With his moral courage, Lincoln tries to mend the divided nation, end the war, and abolish slavery, while his southern counterparts do everything in their power to keep the nation at war. His fiers determination and choices help change the path of the nation forever.

Lincoln is based on a book “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius Of Abraham Lincoln” by Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Take a good look at the poster below and notice the striking resemblance of Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln;

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
