50:354:316 The Journalist in and on Film (3)
For many, our understanding of what journalists do has been shaped by popular culture, more specifically, by how reporters, editors, and media moguls are portrayed in film. From the hapless bumbler to the crusader, the hard-bitten cynic to the power-hungry megalomaniac, the ambitious scoundrel to the intrepid investigator, cinema's depictions of journalists, real or fictional, have both reinforced stereotypes and provided keen insights. This course will offer a comprehensive look at how the news, and those who produce the news, are portrayed in movies and how that impacts our perceptions of the media. We will view and discuss films focused on journalists from over the last 80 years, including His Girl Friday, Citizen Kane, Superman, All the President's Men, Good Night and Good Luck, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Shattered Glass, Anchorman, Truth, and 2016's Best Picture Oscar winner, Spotlight.
