Abstract:
Drawing on portrayals of journalists in television, film, radio, novels, comics, plays, and other media, this text surveys how popular media have depicted the profession across time. Its creative use of media artifacts provides thought-provoking forays into such fundamental issues as how pop culture mythologises and demythologises key events in journalism history and how it confronts issues of race, gender, and sexual orientation on the job.
