"The President's Team": There is a feeling called the ideal of journalism

Journalism, every time I read this major, I feel a little flustered. When I finally chose this major, I sometimes feel a little flustered when I think about it. Because, compared with those students in the class who have great news ideals and feelings, they always feel that their choice is a passive result. Just because I got a bad result in the college entrance examination.
The first time I did news, it should be news. I sent emails to teachers and called relevant departments. I felt a little flustered and overwhelmed. The so-called news sensitive, there is no set of writing standards that journalists should have, I prefer to write some words that I am happy with, even I am a person who does not like to communicate with others.
This film is the first film I have watched about news topics. When I watched it for the first time, I didn’t remember much about some related characters, but this film gave me a lot of inspiration and feelings.
The film is based on the famous Watergate scandal. The main story is that two journalists, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, uncovered a presidential campaign scandal through a theft.
There are so many details in this film that I remember deeply.
Budding reporter Bob Woodward takes a burglary and goes to court to hear the doorman say the case is amazing because the burglars have their own defense attorneys and they have themselves without a single phone call defense attorney. So Woodward grabbed the lawyer who was originally assigned by the court and kept asking questions. During the trial, the identity of the thief once again intrigued Woodward. This is the news thread, keep curious about the world, and react to the abnormality of events immediately. I really think it's very difficult to find news. Every time I go to the ddl in the writing and writing class, I will walk around with the antenna that the teacher said.
What really made Woodward find out was the clues provided by the police. Police said the thief had Howard on his phone, marked as the White House. And Howard is an adviser to Colson, who is an adviser to the president. When Woodward went to the Library of Congress to find Howard's loan records, the administrator said at first that he could give it immediately but then said no. I remembered that a reporter from the Washington Post went to cover a stage play, but the play ended, and the reporter went home. The next day, the reporter was scolded badly. It turned out that an actor committed suicide that day. The perseverance and perseverance of journalists is that no matter what, they are constantly digging out the truth. Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward kept looking, and at last a black librarian offered to help them, albeit in vain.
This persistence lasts until the end of the film. Carl Bernstein ran into the female secretary's house with a sullen face in order to be able to tell the words of the female secretary, then drank more than 20 cups of coffee, and kept running into the bathroom with toilet paper records.
In addition to persistence, journalists also have strong communication skills. To confirm the list, Carl Bernstein approached stans, Nixon's treasurer, the father of a child who resigned because his wife could not stand corruption. Carl Bernstein put him at ease by asking stans' kids.
Journalists are also people who can inspire a sense of justice in others. Originally, a female colleague refused to ask her ex-boyfriend for a list, but seeing Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's enthusiasm for news and their pursuit of the truth, she was moved, and she even dated her ex-boyfriend.
Of course, there is also the credit of Deep Throat, which guides them to look at the money as a whole. These reporters are very important and valuable assets for journalists.
Finally, such a sensational news came out.
I was still thinking about it after class today. If one day I came across such big news, I was still thinking... But when I looked back, I found that I had to submit my homework, and I had to start thinking about topics again. . I know that I am a very sad person. I have no ideals and no feelings. I don't know if I will become a reporter, or even where I will go.
However, I want to jot down these journalistic ideals that moved me. Maybe one day, when I get into journalism, I can read these words again.

    Movies promoted by trivial work are completely my food and can be watched forever. The skill is all in the details, and the actors are also stunned by everyone, and they are better than the "Washington Post". I don't believe in dreams, but I believe in this logic. The rest of the plot explained with subtitles at the end is enough to make a movie.

    Watergate, two young journalists brought the President of the United States off his horse. In the last two minutes, the crackling sound of the typewriter was solemn and moving, and the theme was the freedom of the press.

All the President's Men quotes

  • Carl Bernstein: Boy, that woman was paranoid! At one point I - I suddenly wondered how high up this thing goes, and her paranoia finally got to me, and I thought what we had was so hot that any minute CBS or NBC were going to come in through the windows and take the story away.

    Bob Woodward: You're both paranoid. She's afraid of John Mitchell, and you're afraid of Walter Cronkite.

  • Deep Throat: You'll have to figure that on your own.

    Bob Woodward: Look, I'm tired of your chickenshit games! I don't want hints! I need to know what you know!

    [pause]

    Deep Throat: [very reluctant tone] It was a Haldeman operation. The whole business was run by Haldeman, the money, everything. It won't be easy getting at him, he was insulated, you'll have to find out how. Mitchell started doing covert stuff before anyone else, the list is longer than anyone can imagine... it involves the entire U.S. Intelligence Community. FBI... CIA... Justice... it's incredible. Cover-up had little to do with Watergate, it was mainly to protect the covert operations. It leads everywhere. Get out your notebook, there's more. Your lives are in danger.
