Movies about the work of journalists

Whether behind a computer, in front of a television camera or on the battlefield, the work of journalists fascinates film-makers, who like to show what goes on behind the scenes. Some have fun making fun of this highly codified world, others prefer to show the rigorous and demanding investigative work within a newsroom, and still others are keen to show the work of war reporters, who risk their lives to report the news. Behind the word ‘journalist’, there are in fact dozens of different professions that reflect changes in society, and which you will find illustrated in this collection.
