Broadcast News

When watching Broadcast News I was really only struck by one thing, how much work goes into every production. The same goes for The Paper. Every night all the workers get together and put on a half hour play that they wrote the same day. It has to be timed down to the minute, it has to be accurate in its information, and most of all it has to be entertaining for the audience that is going to be watching it. It is no wonder that a majority of film and TV producers say that their job is stressful. And if Broadcast News seems like it was over the top, that maybe it was just a parody of the stresses of a newsroom this interview with Bob Schieffer should change your mind. Mr. Schieffer says that if anything Broadcast News is a documentary because of the great way it portrays the stresses of a news program. So whether you liked the movie or not, you cannot claim that it is inaccurate.
