State of Play

I got to watch a great movie this weekend. The movie was titled State of Play and stared Russel Crow. Russel Crow played a seasoned news paper reporter for the Washing Globe. The storyline begins with a murder of a thief who stole a anamous briefcase and the murder of an innocent by-stander.

This is a thrilling movie and a great mystery about how newspaper reports and news media follow a current local story. The movie potrias the chalenges of newpaper reporters and their managers in detemining what is imporant news and what sells newspapers.

What was interesting to me was the struggle between online news sourses and printed sources, and the fact that the movie potrayed this as an important media issue. Newspapers and their future is an important media issue. Russel Crow and a great movie story make issue more relevent to the question of whether newspapers will remain an important mews source.
