Who Are Your Favorite TV Show Journalists?

For video segments from The Gilmore Girls, Ugly Betty and WKRP in Cincinnati, go to: http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/270447/who-are-your-favorite-tv-show-journalists/ Who are your favorite TV show journalists? by Kristen Hare Published Sep. 19, 2014 10:39 am Today is the anniversary of the first episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, which debuted in 1970. Poynter’s David Shedden wrote about the show and the recognition it received for today’s media history post. In February, Poynter’s Roy Peter Clark wrote about how journalists are shown in House of Cards. And on Wednesday, Lloyd Grove wrote about a new pack of TV and movie journalists for The Daily Beast. There’s a lot to choose from, so who are your favorite journalists from sitcoms or dramas? I have three. Paris Geller (from The Gilmore Girls. Rory Gilmore is also a favorite, but Paris was a super- journo.) There are a lot of great moments from Paris and Rory’s time at The Yale Daily News, but they started in high school. Betty Suarez (from Ugly Betty.) Betty starts as a secretary at a New York fashion mag, but works her way up and into the magazine’s masthead: And Les Nessman (from WKRP in Cincinnati. Love the bow tie). Who are your picks? (I’ve written about a few before, but I know there are lots more.) Email or tweet me your picks and I’ll pull together a collection. We have made it easy to comment on posts, however we require civility and encourage full names to that end (first initial, last name is OK). Please read our guidelines here before commenting. © 2014 The Poynter Institute 801 Third Street South St. Petersburg, FL 33701 727-821-9494 .
