Presentations of the Media in Film

Number of Pages 5

A 5 page research paper that discusses 3 films, which present a similar idea as part of their portrayal of the influence of the media on public perception. In "His Girl Friday" (1940), "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962) and "Wag the Dog" (1997), a main premise in the narrative is that the reality portrayed in forms of media is more influential, more "real" to the public, than the truth. The implication in each film is that the public is ready to believe whatever the media indicates—no matter how farfetched it might be—as the unvarnished truth. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
