Universal Newsreel

Universal Newsreel was a popular series of short, documentary-style videos shown in cinemas from the 1910s to the 1960s. They provided audiences with timely news stories, political events, sports, and cultural highlights from around the world. Produced by Universal Pictures, these newsreels served as a primary source of visual news before television became widespread. They offered viewers a window into current events, often with footage unavailable elsewhere, helping to inform and shape public perception on a wide range of topics during that era.
