Images of Journalists in Film
What is your image of the journalist and the press from films and TV shows that you’ve seen? Is the journalist an idealized hero, working for the public good? –Is he, or she, a villain, out to get ratings or headlines, truth be damned? USC Journalism professor Joe Saltzman takes all of this very seriously. We’ll find out why he cares, and why he thinks the image of the journalist in popular culture is not only fun to discuss, but important. His new book is called Frank Capra and the Image of the Journalist in American Film. You can visit his website at The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture.
