I watched the film, Spotlight,
a film about investigative journalism. The story revolves around the Boston
Globe’s investigation of the Catholic Church. Upon watching this film, I felt
that it accurately depicted the triumphs and challenges of investigative
journalism. According to a Pro Publica article, the film “vividly captures the
mix of frustration, drudgery and excitement that goes into every great
investigative story. Where liberties were taken, and there were a few, they are
in line with the realities of the news business.” I learned that there
is a lot that goes into the process of investigative journalism, and sometimes
the importance of a story is not always prioritized within the news. I felt that
the film did a good job of depicting the story of Boston Globe’s investigation
within the Catholic Church and I learned a lot about the process behind
journalism.
