The Spotlight team, through their investigation of molestation and abuse in the Catholic church, shows young journalists how to follow a story and not give up no matter how lost the story seems. One of the best lines in the movie that all journalists can relate to is when Rachel McAdam\u2019s character says \u201cWe\u2019re going to tell this story and we\u2019re going to tell it right.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>\u201cAll The President\u2019s Men\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5 Stars<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is truly one of the classic journalism movies that every news student should see. \u201cAll The President\u2019s Men\u201d retells the story of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as they uncover the details of the Watergate Scandal that happened during Nixon\u2019s presidency. They faced so much adversity in uncovering this story, especially because their whole investigation was based on the word of an anonymous source. These two showed the world that through dedication to getting to the truth, journalists can make important social and political change. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>\u201cShattered Glass\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4 Stars<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, \u201cShattered Glass\u201d is a great movie. It recounts the story of Stephen Glass, a reporter for the News Republic, when he is discovered to have fabricated over half of his stories. While what Glass did was horrible and essentially the bane of journalism, \u201cShattered Glass\u201d serves as a constant reminder to report only what is true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>\u201cAlmost Famous\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5 Stars<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAlmost Famous\u201d centers around the world of 15-year-old Rock Journalist William Miller as he follows a mid-sized band around the country writing a cover story for Rolling Stone. While most of the movie revolves around his life on the road, trying to get interviews from the musicians and make his deadlines. When he interviews the band, they insinuate that he should not write the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">whole <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">truth, as to not hurt their reputations. He writes a factual story of the band\u2019s tour, and the band denies it all and Miller\u2019s story is trashed. Later in the movie one of the musicians tells Rolling Stone that Miller told the truth and his feature is run on the front cover. This movie shows that writing the truth will always be better than sugar coating your subject. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSpotlight\u201d 5 Stars \u201cSpotlight\u201d is the number one film for young journalists.
