belief in truth

Watching this movie was all about Crowe, but as the film progressed, Crowe's acting was not the main reason that shocked me.
When Crow went through hard work, withstood the pressure of the editor-in-chief, withstood the emotional bombardment of the Collins couple, and seriously investigated the truth of the incident, when Crow woke up to the final truth at the last moment of celebrating his success, and asked the newspaper not to print for the time being , our reporters have copied all kinds of unsubstantiated hearsay from the Internet, given an alarmist name, signed their own name, and are ready to deliver it to print.
As a reporter, you can be alarmist, but please remember that this alarmist relies on grasping the facts and rational analysis, not those fancy narrative techniques in the writing, and the headlines that sell dog meat. To put it bluntly, reporters should describe alarmist events, not create alarmist gossip.
I gave this film full marks, largely because this film is worthy of a good look by many newspaper people in China. When everyone used the rise of the Internet and the shrinking of the paper media as an excuse to turn the newspaper into an online excerpt with peace of mind, it was already Losing the last bit of dignity and integrity of the reporter, such a reporter is not even worthy of being a mouthpiece, let alone an uncrowned king.
