Summary:
Who decides what's
news
? And how do they decide? How much of what we see and read is fact or fiction? Are foreign correspondents allowed to tell all that they see, or are they only employees, mouth-pieces for an invisible editorial line? This production examines these issues by focusing on several journalists working in Nicaragua during the negotiations surrounding the Arias Peace Plan in November 1987. It examines how the
news
business works, revealing the inevitable distortions that become part of the process. Journalists criticize their profession from the inside. They question the enormous pressures they face: the deadlines, the demand for sensationalism and editorial decisions that are made far from the action. The politics of news-gathering and news-making make them key moral issues of the electronic age. The film features ABC TV's Peter Jennings and John Quinones; Newsweek, photographer Bill Gentile; The Boston Globe's Randolph Ryan; Edith Coron; reporter for the Paris newspaper, Libération; and
