The Latest News consists of 50 stories from the New York Times published between 1992 and 2024, each condensed to roughly 5 to 7 sentences. These stories form the text of the film's voiceover. Each sentence has one corresponding shot and sound clip. And each 5 to 7 sentence story is separated by a single shot accompanied by no narration. The result is a brief history of contemporary Utah, a tour of Utah's varied landscapes, a history of the journalistic style of the New York Times, a reinterpretation of Benning's work, and a reflection on the current prospects of avant-garde cinema. Shot in 4k and 8k video, with digital stereo sound, the film is visually stunning and sonically rich.
