Event Details
With foresight about the fate of news media, Broadcast News follows the interconnected lives of three ambitious workaholics. Caught in a love triangle that develops amidst a network newsroom in Washington, producer Jane Craig must choose between a charismatic anchor, Tom Grunwick, and a brilliant reporter, Aaron Altman. The film delves deeply into issues of journalistic integrity and staging in media ethics that mirror the current landscape and the prevalence of fake news.
