	DVD Times: Region 1 Reviews: Broadcast News
		Broadcast News is a hugely enjoyable comedy that pretends to be a serious satirical comment on the declining quality of TV News programmes in America.
		The film is made with the unobtrusive efficiency of the best TV sitcoms, which is unsurprising since James L. Brooks was involved with some of the classic American half hour comedies, including the legendary "Taxi".
		Broadcast News has aged very well, and is one of the few examples of a comedy which is made by, and for, adults as opposed to overgrown adolescents.

	Broadcast News (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Broadcast News is a 1987 romantic comedy about a brilliant yet prickly reporter (Albert Brooks), his charming but admittedly far less seasoned rival (William Hurt), and their virtuoso producer (Holly Hunter), who has daily emotional breakdowns.
		The events depicted in the movie closely parallel and satirize the 1984 mass layoffs ("downsizing") that occurred at CBS News.
		Longtime CBS Evening News producer Susan Zirinsky was a technical advisor on the film.

	News Network
		Both networks began broadcast news by focusing on events, matters of public concern such as political conventions, election results and presidential inaugurations, and from this earliest period, broadcast journalism was rooted in various forms of competition.
		In this developmental period the growth of network television news was hindered by the decision of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to "freeze" new TV licenses between 1948 and 1952, until it could sort out channel allocations and decide on a standard for color TV.
		Film was still the medium used to acquire pictures, but once developed, the film could be relayed by fast aircraft to the nearest television cable terminus to be fed to the network.

	Indiantelevision.com > News Room Headlines > NDTV's Chaubey to head Broadcast News political bureau
		MUMBAI: Broadcast News, the newly-floated television company by Television Eighteen Ltd in association with Rajdeep Sardesai and Sameer Manchanda, has managed to lure away one of the key editorial professionals from the NDTV team, even as other journalists are expected to join the new entrant in the English news channel space.
		Though the name of the first channel from Broadcast News stable is yet to be finalised, a source close to the development said Indian Broadcast News or IBN is a name being toyed with.
		Broadcast News is a venture that was set up earlier this year with TV 18 holding 74 per cent equity stake, while the remaining 26 per cent is distributed amongst senior people.

	'Broadcast News'
		The film is about the private lives of the men and women in front of and behind the cameras at a network news bureau in Washington, and it gives us the exhilarating feeling that in getting to peek backstage, we're being let in on big secrets, that the tricks of the trade are being revealed.
		As it turns out, big secrets aren't revealed in "Broadcast News," but the film is so ingratiatingly high-spirited, and the performances so full of sass and vigor, that in the long run it doesn't really matter much.
		This is the glamor of network news, as Brooks presents it, and the behind-the-scenes material that he shows us here is enormously rich and enthralling.

		Film genres, (action, musical, melodrama, religious, documentary, etc.) from the various countries are compared with each other and with western films.
		Textual analysis of individual films is enhanced by a contextual study of the effects of science fiction on American culture from a historical standpoint.
		Important movements such as the Film Noir and the advent of the New American Cinema, as well as social events affecting film such as the inþux of television and the advent of film censorship, along with a historical approach to genre development, are among the topics covered.

		"Broadcast News" is as knowledgeable about the TV news-gathering process as any movie ever made, but it also has insights into the more personal matter of how people use high-pressure jobs as a way of avoiding time alone with themselves.
		Right at the center of "Broadcast News" is a character named Jane Craig (Holly Hunter), who is a news writer-producer for the Washington bureau of a TV network.
		Much of the plot of "Broadcast News" centers around a piece that Hurt reports about "date rape." Listening to one woman's story, he is so moved that a tear trickles down his cheek.

		The setting is the high-stakes world of network television news, and although the technology has changed since the mid 1980's when this was made, the politics and the cutthroat environment are still exactly the same.
		BROADCAST NEWS marks the first time I saw Holly Hunter, and I was mesmerized at her focus, quickness, passion, and finally her eccentric prettiness and sex appeal.
		The backdrop is the high-stakes world of network television news, and although the technology has changed since the mid 1980's when this was made, the politics and the cut-throat environment are still exactly the same.

	Video Production of a Newscast l Lesson
		In the process of planning their segments, students will study news broadcasts; learn how to create a T-script for their audio and visuals; develop scripts; and utilise production and film techniques such as setting, presentation, props, camera angles, and editing.
		Some segments can be filmed in the classroom, but for shooting outside the classroom, try to get extra help from a teachers aid or a parent volunteer.
		You will find that students will reach a point where they are all ready to film but, because of supply limitations, have nothing to do but wait until their turn for the camera.

	Mass Media Course: Broadcast News
		As we have seen countless times, the news media is the first target for those who want to control the people of a country.
		Given the preferences of viewers who are constantly "voting" on program popularity with their TV remote controls, a news director, whose job largely depends on maximizing ratings and station profits, may have little choice but to appeal to popular tastes.
		The more people involved in a news event, be it a demonstration or a tragic accident, the more newsworthy the story is. Likewise, the number of people affected by the event, whether it's a new health threat or a new tax ruling, the more newsworthy the story is.

		This film also illustrates the typology of the American psyche, a structure that greatly contributes to certain failures of psychological understanding that are particularly common in our culture.
		Broadcast News is such a film, with a soul of its own that lends itself to psychological analysis.
		Beebe and the participants will also examine the attitudes this film envisions that typically interfere with the individuation of the American character, and how these may be addressed to develop the consciousness we still need, fifteen years after this film was made.

		This, in essence, is the film’s message: the triumph of style over substance, the lowering of standards.
		He is also totally in love with Jane but their relationship seems to have stalled in the comfortable rut that is the ‘friends’ stage, a fact that only heightens his pique when he senses her falling for Grunnick, the man he comes to know as ‘the Big Joke’.
		Reveling in shades of gray, and in the inconsistencies present in every person but in precious few movie characters, this film is ultimately that rarest of things: one which does not look down on its characters or its audience, and for that it deserves attention.

	USCCB Reviews - Broadcast News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Broadcast News -- News producer (Holly Hunter) in the Washington bureau of a TV network finds herself drawn away from a hard-working reporter whom she admires (Albert Brooks) by an off-again, on-again attraction to a handsome but unprofessional reporter (William Hurt) being groomed as network news anchor.
		Written, produced and directed by James L. Brooks, the romantic comedy is often quite funny and also worthwhile in its satric portrait of television news being more concerned with image and packaging than with the news story itself.
		N.B.: Films with the initials "br" (before rating) or "nr" (not rated) denote those movies which were released either before the rating system was established, or are being released without an MPAA rating.

		William Hurt totally had it in him to play the "all flash, no substance" news reporter who may be slightly lost in the big, bad world of news anchoring, but somehow managed to pull it off.
		Broadcast News is one of those films that makes you feel like you've had a perfect meal.
		As a critique of network news, I liked this film better than Sidney Lumet's NETWORK becuase that film wet completely over the top in its final quarter, Broadcast News's approach on the other hand is through real characters that we can symphasise with.

		Blessed with a good script, BROADCAST NEWS examines the ethics of modern-day electronic journalism and the often frazzled emotions of a tightly knit group of workaholics who find that their personal and professional lives have become one and the same.
		Network news producer Jane Craig (Hunter) and her best pal, veteran correspondent Aaron Altman (Brooks), share not only the same high ethical standards, but a warm and goofy sense of humor.
		A film whose "TV movie" feel is at once incredibly appropriate and a notable drawback, BROADCAST NEWS is nevertheless worthy adult entertainment.

		"Broadcast News" is directed by James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment, As Good As It Gets) and has a great cast, including William Hurt, Albert Brooks, and Holly Hunter.
		Some parts of the film are really brilliant, such as the prologue, and the short scenes with Jack Nicholson.
		The main reason it doesn't entirely work, is it's a film that relies on the characters being amusing rather than amusing things happening to them.

		What this film is at the base of it is a romantic comedy and when the film has to be fast and sharp and funny, having characters run around in a frenzy, it's Brooks who fares best.
		"Broadcast News" is a honest portrait of these people and the writing is top notch, providing the viewer with a film full of wonderful performances.
		Apparently, this is the first time that "Broadcast News" has been available on home video in a widescreen edition.
