'The Power of the Press' is a 1928 American silent drama film directed by Frank Capra and starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as an aspiring newspaper reporter and Jobyna Ralston as a young woman suspected of murder.

In 2005, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/P/PowerOfThePress1928.html Progressive Silent Film List: 'The Power of the Press'] at silentera.com

In 1943, Columbia Pictures reused the title, without the leading 'The', for another newspaper picture, but it had a completely different plot and was not a remake.
