  '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.

 Top Jobs Elude Women in Broadcast News
During her years as news director in Springfield, Mo., the bulk of the hires in reporter and producer ranks were women, Burdick said.
Newsroom assignments for women and broadcast depiction of women will shift significantly only after women rise much higher in the managerial side of broadcasting, in business in general and in the public sphere, she said.
When the workforce numbers in TV news plateau with just one out of four national stories reported by women, with just one of four news directors a woman, and with talent heading for the exits because of burnout over work-life conflicts, we're clearly far from the ideal--farther away than we thought we'd be by now.

Some have hailed Couric’s rise as a commendable step forward for women; she is, after all, the first female to serve as a solo-anchor on a national network news broadcast.
In 1988, Nicholas Lemann reviewed a book by Ed Joyce, a former president of CBS news, which contained, Lemann notes, “many little image-deflating anecdotes about the on-air stars.” Joyce (“Grinding his axe joyously,” according to Lemann) attributed the ills of the new era of infotainment to the broadcast journalists’ relentless quest for personal fame.
They have used their supposed commitment to hard-news values as a smokescreen to cover a takeover of control of the news divisions…Entertainment values, if they mean better presentation of the same news, are good and if they mean softer stories and misleading, worked-up presentation techniques, then the stars haven’t really fought them.

The media as purveyors of sensational 'news' in the spirit of good 'salesmanship' and entertainment as opposed to actually reporting unbiased, important events and issues to inform the public, that is journalism, as it was meant to be, is represented in this charming and witty film from the genius of James L. Brooks.
