Hollywood’s portrayal of journalism has offered up countless images of newspeople, from the noble truth-seeker to the compromised scandalmonger. Influential and timeless, the "reel" reporter has helped shape the public’s view of real journalists.
Beginning Dec. 8, 2008, the Newseum and the American University School of Communication present the marquee film series "Reel Journalism," showcasing classic and contemporary films depicting the integral role of journalism in American life.
Veteran journalist Nick Clooney, author of the book "The Movies That Changed Us: Reflections on the Screen," will host the series. Clooney is also a familiar face to viewers of the American Movie Classics cable network. Each program will include screenings of the films accompanied by live discussions with prominent filmmakers, award-winning actors and top journalists.
Screenings take place in the Newseum’s state-of-the-art Walter and Leonore Annenberg Theater. Programs begin at 7 p.m., and doors will open 30 minutes before start time. Ticket purchasers will be able to visit the Newseum throughout the day of the screening.
