This film, which won Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay at the 88th, will only be understood after watching it and how it differs from the other nominated films. It tells us what qualities a journalist should have. There is no mess of office chores in the film, all journalists are doing their job (finding the truth - confirming the truth - verifying the evidence)
