I don't know why, when I see the blood boiling in this show, this line from "Sin City" always floats out.
Remember that Athur said in "The Media of Power" that even if it will never be reached, there will always be some holy grail-like existence in the press, such as freedom of the press.
You can't get it, but it's a beacon forever.
Therefore, as a student majoring in journalism and communication, there is really no way to be provoked by this drama.
As everyone will joke, they all want to live in the world of news broadcasts. I guess that people who study journalism should all want to live in the time and space of the newsroom.
In this drama, everyone has their ideals in journalism, not to mention the sub-creators of the evening news, even from the manager in charge of the operation of News Corp. to the chief writer of Gossip Weekly. He is someone who has the news to save the world.
And this idealized treatment seems to be the most criticized point of the play.
But I don't think idealization is the problem with this show. It can be said that most TV dramas are idealized or simplified lives.
Although TV shows come from life, it never has to be true to life. Instead, TV shows are what we expect to a certain extent from life. For example, basically every TV series will make a lover get married, no matter how desperate the situation is, but there are too many people and people who miss it in life.
Anyway, looking forward to the second season.
