From cynical portrayals like The Front Page to the nuanced complexity of All the Presidents Men, and The Insider, movies about journalists and journalism have been a goto film genre since the medium's early days. Often depicted as disrespectful, harddrinking, scandalmongering misfits, journalists also receive Hollywood's frequent respect as an essential part of American life.Matthew C. Ehrlich tells the story of how Hollywood has treated American journalism. Ehrlich argues that films have relentlessly played off the image of the journalist as someone who sees through lies and hypocrisy, sticks up for the little guy, and serves democracy. He also delves into the genre's alwaysevolving myths and dualisms to analyze the tensionshero and oppressor, objectivity and subjectivity, truth and falsehoodthat allow journalism films to examine conflicts in society at large.
