After watching it, I admired this heroine very much. In the face of the pressure of the country, family, and life, she adhered to the principle of being a reporter. She is an excellent reporter.
But at the same time I also think she is unprofessional, at least in my current context.
The content reported by journalists should be the content that the public can know, not just the content that the public should know. The law clearly stipulates that the identity of the CIA agent is a secret and cannot be exposed, but the heroine still exposed it recklessly. This secret was known to the public, which directly led to the shooting of the female agent. News reporters will get a lot of clues, but not all of them are valuable, and not all of them can be reported. If the heroine was calmer at the beginning, remembering that there are not so many things behind.
Secondly, I think the heroine did not do a good job of confirming the authenticity of the news. Her source is from a child, and there is a reason why the child's words cannot be used as evidence. Of course, this can be used as a clue, but when she went to verify, she published the news without getting a positive answer. Judging from several details revealed in the film, this so-called truth was only revealed by the female agent through personal investigation. In conclusion, its authenticity is questionable. The heroine can use this report to question, but cannot report this report as a fact.
Again, I mentioned the Watergate incident and the Pulitzer Prize for journalism before the heroine's report. From here, I felt that the heroine's starting point was mixed with emotions. At the beginning of the investigation, there was a certain tendency, which was against objectivity and fairness. the rules.
We can also see that the timeliness of news should include two aspects, one is timely, such as the female protagonist working overtime after the time occurs to catch up with the press release. The other is timely. For example, after a period of time after the heroine was detained, the news media's continuous coverage of her ended. Because the general environment has changed, people are very supportive of the president, and the news media, a subsystem of the social system, will also change accordingly. , Continuing to report on the heroine's story goes against people's expectations, so there are fewer reports. Of course, if the president was not supported at that time, this matter would definitely be hyped to the sky.
Judging from the final result, I think it was wrong for the judge to let the heroine leave, but the insistence of the police is very meaningful. The journalist was right in insisting not to reveal the source, but it was also true that she shielded the criminal, which was originally two things. At the end of the film, the heroine did not disclose the source of the news, and she also received the punishment she deserved. I think this is a better result.
