Movie Review: “The Paper” — Michael Who?
“The Paper,” a 1994 product directed by Ron Howard, is about styles of journalism and its responsibilities. Keaton plays Henry Hackett, an editor at The Sun, a New York City daily tabloid. Think Daily News or Daily Mirror, famous for their dazzling headlines and tantalizing leads. Having taught journalists to write fiction for thirty years, I’ve come to realize that journalism is not just a job you go to every weekday, but is a calling, with deeper imperatives than money or status. Young reporters are routinely underpaid and overworked which suggests that “truth” matters to them ahead of any other consideration — money, status, glamorous partners, gold watches or vacations in Tahiti.
