En savoir plus sur le livre
We have a complex relationship with journalists, viewing them as both glamorous and sleazy. Public opinion often swings between seeing them as heroes and villains, influenced by events like Watergate and various scandals. In this exploration, Brian McNair, a prominent scholar in journalism studies, examines how cinema has shaped the portrayal of journalists from the 1930s to 2008. He analyzes the depiction of various journalist roles in film, including female journalists, foreign correspondents, and investigative reporters, revealing insights about their significance in liberal democratic societies. The book also addresses the representation of public relations professionals in cinema. With its engaging and accessible writing style, this work is valuable for both academic audiences and general readers interested in the evolving role of journalists today. An appendix features mini-essays on every journalism-related film released between 1997 and 2008, making it a comprehensive resource for students, educators, and journalists themselves.
