Representations of Journalism in Movie Culture - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Journalism in film serves as both a mirror of society and a lens through which truth, power, and ethics are explored. From fast-paced newsroom dramas to investigative thrillers, movies often depict journalists as determined truth-seekers navigating complex moral issues, institutional pressures, and personal risks. These portrayals shape public perceptions of the media, highlighting its role in holding power accountable and its susceptibility to bias, sensationalism, or corporate influence. By dramatizing real-world tensions between integrity and ambition, films about journalism reflect the responsibilities and challenges of reporting in the media landscape. Representations of Journalism in Movie Culture explores how the profession of journalism is represented, critiqued, and mythologized in film. It examines public relations and ideological pressure intersections, analyzing a curated selection of films to investigate core themes like commercialism, political science, truth and narrative, ethics, and social perception. This book covers topics such as film studies, news media, and algorithms, and is a useful resource for media and communications professionals, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
