Journalism in Cinema

My list is meant more for the investigative side of journalism. Hence the absence of journalistic movies like Citizen Kane, Network, and Broadcast News. I love movies like Spotlight, where the heroes are newspaper men and women. Digging the truth out of the dirt no matter how painful it is to hear. My mind tends to wander in most movies, but never in this genre. I find this stuff fascinating. Most of these are probably pretty well known by most members of Letterboxd, except perhaps "Shattered Glass." If you haven't seen it yet I urge you to do so. If I could add the last season of The Wire, I'd do so, when the storyline revolved around the inner workings of a Baltimore newspaper on its last legs.
