	The Insider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For the American television tabloid program, see The Insider (TV newsmagazine).
		There is also a book with the same name about an executive at Archer Daniels Midland.
		The Insider is a 1999 film which tells the true story of a 60 Minutes television series exposé of the tobacco industry, as seen through the eyes of a real tobacco executive, Jeffrey Wigand.

	The Insider Movie Review - CJR, November/December 1999
		The Insider, which focuses on that unhappy chapter of what the movie calls "the highest rated, most respected TV news show in America," is a Walt Disney film.
		The Insider may be only a movie, but it does recall a remarkable period during which every top national television news organization was deeply embarrassed by a major newsmagazine scandal.
		Part of it has to do with the lowering of TV’s journalistic standards, the tabloidization of TV news, and the blurring of the line between news and entertainment in today’s no-holds-barred race for ratings and profit.

		That they get their comeuppance in "The Insider," and that the only squealing you hear is from the media is an indication of how times have changed.
		The fatted calf in question is CBS News and the prime-time real estate known as "60 Minutes." "The Insider" is the rather arcane true story of how the TV newsmagazine was pressured internally to withdraw a story on tobacco industry practices and cancel an interview with a tobacco company whistle-blower.
		A free and unfettered press is a priority, but assuming that TV news coverage is not a constantly selective process is as naive as thinking that these filmmakers didn't shade or reshape the truth to create drama.

		The format of "Hashagrir" is similar to American reality TV programs like "The Apprentice," with an expert panel giving a designated loser his marching orders at the end of each episode.
		A news release from the producers said the TV program and prize -- a position with a U.S. Jewish organization -- would be nonpolitical, but the first episode concentrated on the touchiest of the Mideast's political conflicts.
		The 14 contestants, picked for their potential to be attractive envoys, are young adults, including a lawyer, a communications student, a graduate student in chemistry, and immigrants from Holland, Ethiopia and the United States.

	Tell Me a Story: Fifty Years and 60 Minutes in Television. TV is King Book Reviews
		Hewitt doesn't pretend to be a saint; he accepts the mingled imperatives of journalism and commerce that drive TV news without (usually) sounding too defensive.
		His descriptions of TV news' infancy is fascinating for those born in a later era: e.g., when he first worked at CBS News, Hewitt and his co-workers had to do one broadcast for the East Coast and a second one for the West Coast because videotape hadn't been invented.
		A pioneer of the TV news business certainly has a wealth of content for a book, but as is often the case with autobiographies, the story would have been better told by a veteran book writer.

	Junkscience.com -- Gripes about your boss aren't news -- unless you're a reporter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		As I wrote when the movie was released, the film does an excellent job of showing how a slick TV newsmagazine (60 Minutes) hung its main source out to dry when its major media parent (CBS) decided not to risk a lawsuit based on a shaky news source with many personal problems.
		More recently, an investigative reporting team in Tampa sued their Fox-owned TV station, alleging that they were fired for refusing to change their story about milk production.
		And nearly every major TV market has its version of the "investigative report." You may have noticed that alleged corporate misdoings or alleged unsafe products have been frequent targets of these shows.

	Mass Media Course: TV Network Ratings
		FOX News is seen as being conservative and pro-Republican in its views.) By the mid-1980s Murdoch was able to purchase six Metromedia TV stations, along with the 20th Century Fox film studios.
		In the case of both WB and UPN, the main objective was to have TV station outlets for the material their associated film studios produced.
		Since newspapers and TV programs constantly refer to the ratings of shows, understanding how they work is essential in evaluating the success of shows.

	The Insider Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		For three decades, the CBS newsmagazine "60 Minutes" has been a bastion for responsible reporting and journalistic integrity, built on the reputation of its reporters and producers uncovering the truth without compromise.
		In the weeks leading up to the release of "The Insider", there was much controversy over the veracity of events portrayed in the film, particularly from Mike Wallace, who has been outspoken about how negatively he is portrayed in the film-- an arrogant man who cares more about his 'legacy' than his journalistic pride.
		But despite the liberties taken to heighten the dramatic intensity of the story, overall, "The Insider" remains true to the spirit of the real-life events-- an ex-tobacco executive sacrificed everything he had to tell the truth, only to be betrayed by the very people who convinced him to blow the whistle.

		The CBS newsmagazine then decided not to run the story because it might have affected the pending sale of CBS and the value of its stock.
		Almost like two movies in one, the story takes us into the world of a man who must come to terms with the consequences of his job and it also takes us into the realm of broadcast journalism as we watch his story unfold into the news.
		Russell Crowe delivers a solid performance as Dr. Jeffery Wingard, the insider who was privy to the information that Brown and Williams, a major tobacco company, wanted to contain.

		But what truly exasperated competitors was the magazine's insider tone, Time writers and editors might be myopic when it came to overseas reportage (the magazine's early defense of the Vietnam War is a conspicuous example).
		That power began to exhibit itself in the magazine, then in the elevated tone of letters we were receiving from new readers, and, finally, in the reception we got from advertisers.
		TV Cable Week, a magazine that was supposed to knock off TV Guide, had crashed and burned on the runway at an estimated cost of $100 million.

		The infamous “things” referred to by Hewitt and Wallace are the scandals that erupted in early 1996, when it was revealed that CBS News had refused to air an interview with a tobacco company whistleblower because the network feared the (financial) consequences.
		The tale itself is both gripping and socially relevant, and if The Insider were peppered with lines and situations at least half as brilliant as the aforementioned dialogue exchange, this docudrama-cum-thriller would stand on a par with great cinematic exposés such as Costa-Gavras’s Z and Robert Redford’s Quiz Show.
		The TV version of The Insider was disowned by Michael Mann.

		I had begun to realize in the '60s that TV news was going to have to pay its own way.
		John Horne, the TV critic of the New York Herald Tribune, coined the phrases "high Murrow" and "low Murrow" to distinguish between the two broadcasts.
		If there was a forerunner to the TV newsmagazine format, it was the old newsreel "The March of Time," which ran in movie theaters during the 1930s and '40s.

	The Insider/In Print: Maximum Russell Crowe
		This fantasy also clashes with "The Insider," which blows the lid off the notion that TV newsmagazines and much of network news are largely the sum of their on-camera stars.
		At one memorable point in "The Insider," a CBS lawyer tells the newspeople that if Wigand's charges against Brown & Williamson were untrue, the network would have no problem, or legal liability, in airing them--but the fact that they apparently were true made it impossible.
		Sometimes (and not just in the case of Peter Arnett's "Tailwind" fiasco) the "correspondents" on TV news magazines are merely telegenic fronts who have little involvement with the reporting of their stories -- which is to say, they're star actors playing a role.

		This is apparently an inconsequential detail to Paramount Domestic TV, which has commissioned regular interview snippets with the cooing couple to air on both "ET" and its slap-happy sister "The Insider" leading up to the big day.
		This is "ET" and "The Insider" slumming on National Enquirer turf, though in truth they've been hanging out in that tabloid terrain for a long time.
		Maybe we really should be applauding "ET" and "Insider" for being miles ahead of the curve in removing the pretense of both news and entertainment from the entertainment newsmagazine equation.

	The Great Canadian Guide to the Movies and TV: El-Es
		Hauntingly atmospheric, well-mounted made-for-CBC TV adaptation of the play (featuring most of the original cast); well acted, particularly by Carver as a gay actor, dying of an AIDS-like ailment, who becomes the Queen's chief foil, as she challenges him to teach her how to reconnect with the woman buried inside her.
		Made-for-U.S. TV SF drama/suspenser has a good cast (though American import Elise seems a bit youngish) but they're stuck in characters that are there more to fill up space than to be flesh-and-blood people.
		This CBC TV movie was Finkleman's return to the fl comedy The Newsroom -- the hilarious TV series that catapulted him to stardom -- and it starts out reasonably evocative of that series' style.

		Of newspaper, newsmagazine and TV stories about Bush in the first two months of his term, 22% were positive, a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism found.
		But the amount of reporting has plummeted: TV and print coverage of Bush fell 41% from the same period during Clinton's administration.
		"As a whole the press has depicted Bush as a skillful manager, more comfortable as an insider than a man of the people, who is stubbornly pursuing a sincere, conservative ideological agenda even if it is controversial," the study concluded.
