This is one of the three movies I watched in a class called US Media Culture and Practices when I was an undergraduate. The most impressive sentence of that course was: The primary purpose of journalism is to provide citizens the information they need to be free and self-governing. In the movie, CBS' Boss told Murrow that no audience would like such a program about citizenship, because no audience would like to be treated like a student. However, if journalism can't arouse people's awareness of citizenship, what's the use of information that can help them to be free and self-governing? This movie probably tells such a story.
