    When Journalism Catches Hollywood’s Eye - The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/03/movies/when-journalism-c... http://nyti.ms/1kvQUJs MOVIES When Journalism Catches Hollywood’s Eye By JOE NOCERA DEC. 31, 2015 It is not every year that Hollywood produces two movies about journalism that are Oscar contenders, but 2015 appears to have been that year. First came “Truth” in October. Based on the memoir of a former “60 Minutes” producer, Mary Mapes, it purports to tell the story of her gutsy 2004 investigation into George W. Bush’s service in the National Guard when he was a young man. When it turned out that her story, which was broadcast on “60 Minutes II” months before the president’s re-election, had unwittingly relied on falsified documents, the network suits turned against her and her famous correspondent, the CBS anchor Dan Rather, costing them their jobs. “Truth” was followed in November by “Spotlight,” which goes inside The Boston Globe’s groundbreaking investigation into the pedophile priest scandal — and the shocking fact that child-molesting clerics were being protected by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. (And, as we now know, by dioceses all across America and much of the rest of the world.) Starring Michael Keaton as Walter V. Robinson, known as Robby, the head of The Globe’s Spotlight investigative unit, the film is the most straightforward journalism procedural since “All the President’s Men.” 1 of 5 1/3/16 3:11 PM When Journalism Catches Hollywood’s Eye - The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/03/movies/when-journalism-c..
