Film 2: Woman of the Year

vroum — 2023-04-07 08:19:10 UTC

female reporters are very interesting :
- female reporters = male reporters
- everything a male reporter can do she can do it better

Editors are presented as rough and craggy.

Work

2023-04-07 08:23:43 UTC

Journalists in movies work hard to have their stories published

vroum — 2023-04-07 08:24:26 UTC

The female journalist in the movie needs to give up on her female self to be a journalist = sexist ?

the woman needs to be the monster in the movie

Women journalists

vroum — 2023-04-07 11:25:58 UTC

- The audience loves that they can do what she can't (to cook) but they can't do what she can (being a top journalist)

In movies

You don't see the real work of the journaist because it is boring

real job

vroum — 2023-04-07 13:02:40 UTC

- call 30 people to find 1
- spend hours looking for clues in files

journalists

vroum — 2023-04-07 13:03:45 UTC

presented as hard-boiled people, but may be scoundrels, but most of the time, the public looks more terrible than the journalist

why?

vroum — 2023-04-07 13:06:25 UTC

The boring aspect of journalism is harder to dramatize than a mysterious meeting at night in a garage.
