The demagogues and quacks whom they attacked in the 1930s may seem like obvious targets now, but they didn't seem so then.

Behind it is ten years' experience with a magazine of the same style; an army of correspondents and cameramen scattered throughout the world; an historical film library it took two years to prepare; a newspaper cutting library as exhaustive as anything extant; and in New York and Chicago a vast research staff alert to trace the origins of any family, war, author, statesman, treaty, or breath or rumour.

A. Spencer and H. D. Waley, <i>The Cinema Today</i> (1939) — Although the ideal behind these films is to present, as objectively as possible, accounts of world happenings, there is no doubt whatever that they are helping to mould our views on such happenings. In America legislation regulating child labour … has at last passed both Houses of Congress by a narrow margin which is believed to be due to the <i>March of Time</i>. Their film on cancer has done a good deal to arouse the national conscience of America to the evils of the quackery that battens on fear of this scourge, while in England, before the present campaign for National Fitness was under way, their film <i>Food and Physical Training</i> aroused enormous interest and debate in that it brought home to many people's minds the fact that the animals at the zoo are better fed and housed than many of the nation's children.<sup id="cite_ref-Fielding_3-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fielding-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 176">: 176 </span></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Neil_Genzlinger" title="Neil Genzlinger">Neil Genzlinger</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a></i> (September 2, 2010) — It's hard to know today even what to call these films. (Raymond Fielding, a retired college educator who wrote a book about the series, told me that roughly 290 were made.) '"Newsreels'" seems inadequate; they are longer, more detailed and much more opinionated than the standard-issue newsreels that preceded them. "Documentaries" is closer, but the blaring orchestrations and outlandish voice-overs sound nothing like a modern documentary. It's tempting to give up and label these whats-its a mass-media Neanderthal — an evolutionary dead end; an attempt to merge the tools of newsgathering and filmmaking that had its moment but died out. Except that, once you watch a few and learn about how they were made, you start to see a little <i>March of Time</i> in almost everything: <a href="/wiki/Fox_News_Channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Fox News Channel">Fox News</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Daily_Show" title="The Daily Show">The Daily Show</a> with Jon Stewart</i>, the <a href="/wiki/History_(U.S._TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="History (U.S. TV channel)">History</a> channel, schlocky reality shows of the <i><a href="/wiki/I_Shouldn%27t_Be_Alive" title="I Shouldn't Be Alive">I Shouldn't Be Alive</a></i> variety, PBS's <i><a href="/wiki/POV_(TV_series)" title="POV (TV series)">P.O.V.</a></i><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tom_Shales" title="Tom Shales">Tom Shales</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Washington_Post" title="The Washington Post">The Washington Post</a></i> (September 4, 2010) — Fascinating, enthralling, enlightening—many a superlative applies to these documentary shorts, which have gathered value with the march of time itself and have been rescued from the ravages of time by New York's <a href="/wiki/Museum_of_Modern_Art" title="Museum of Modern Art">Museum of Modern Art</a> and the <a href="/wiki/HBO" title="HBO">HBO</a> Archive, corporate relative of the series's original creators. … It's something of an irony that <i>The March of Time</i> may be less famous today than a bull's-eye parody of it — a parody that millions have seen, many of them perhaps not even knowing that it is a parody or what it's lampooning.
