This was a good one

I love movies about journalism and last night we watched a good one.

"State of Play" with Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams and Ben Affleck had everything a good journalism movie needs: a crusty reporter, a grouchy editor, intrigue, phone calls, typing. What made it unique was how it worked in the current issues facing the industry, especially how online reporting has changed print journalism.

Want other great movies about journalism? Here's a list of some of my favorites.
Citizen Kane
Network
The Shipping News
All the President's Men
The Insider
His Girl Friday
