This is not surprising: the film audience understands the profession;
They are often in contact with its products, and during the long hours of work, layoffs and other insults, it still carries a worldwide excitement.
In addition, writers tend to write what they know, and one thing writers know is that a lot of people work in the media.

Female journalists are often! —
We should ask ourselves a question: what do these movies tell us about women, news, work and love?
With a few exceptions, rom-
The work of the heroine is excellent.
They love their jobs, even those who don't spend much time on the screen.
With a few exceptions, rom-
The heroine uses their work for two purposes: to get a man, or to get a man back.
In train wreck, Amy Schumer's character dates and falls in love with the man she was assigned to make a profile for a male magazine.
In How to lose a man in 10 days, Andie, a female magazine columnist, was assigned to date a man, drive him away, and then write how she did it.
In the 13 th 30, Jennifer Garner's Jenna made a massive redesign of her women's magazine to get close to her favorite photographer.

Host of live TV
In "sleepless nights in Seattle", Meg Ryan's Anne looked up a man's personal information with her newspaper's database, she once heard the man on the radio late at night and flew all over the country to visit him at his house.
Good news coverage happens occasionally: Bridget Jones has an exclusive interview with a human rights activist (
Because the man she was interested in set it up for her).
But this is not the news industry we want to cheer.
The professional achievement of the audience being asked to applaud is the achievement of integrating the individual with the profession in a sometimes disturbing way.
In Never Been Kissed, Drew Barrymore's Josie is a copywriter who gets to become an investigation when she pretends to be a student undercover in a high school
While she was undercover, she fell in love with her teacher, thinking that her 17-year-old teacher fell in love with her.
Her editor forced her to expose him, but she refused.
Finally, the story she wrote was not about a public school teacher crossing the line with one of his students.
Instead, she used her big shot in front of her.
Design the page story of reconciliation with that person.
"On my way to self, a teacher was injured --
"Found", Josie wrote in her last copy that she ignored the mention, and when she found herself, she also found out, an adult is already too close to the person he thinks is underage and the student he is responsible.
"While the article can be used as a step, it can never make up for what I did to him.
As a reminder, what she did to him was her job, but she did not do well because she fell in love with a source that might be a criminal, and then the story she found was not written
"Say to this person: you know who you are. I am so sorry.
One more thing I want to add.
I think I fell in love with you.
In order to get him back, she asked him in her article to meet her on the mound in the big game of the school baseball team and kiss her.
Her editor and editor of the newspaperin-
The chief minister appeared and EIC was pleased to see so many readers present to invest in the personal lives of one of his journalists.
The huge exposure that the newspaper did not publish was never mentioned again, another explosive story about a predatory male being quietly abandoned by a responsible male.
Not just rom-
Described as a com reporter who is easily distracted: in this type, the same is true of the female lead of doctors and lawyers. And as rom-
Female heroes are often placed in obvious gender jobs.
Teacher, Baker, wedding planner, owner of children's books-
There are some exciting places to watch movies where women work in a place that is often male
Leading areas like journalism.
But not all delegates are good delegates.
Especially when women's career aspirations are portrayed as an embarrassing stage of serious youth, they are abandoned once the right man appears.
At the beginning of these films, female journalists were eager to cover "real" news and were seen as journalists.
Finally, they acknowledge their love on live TV or express their heartbreaking apologies in print.
In Prince Christmas, amber's blog post about her "true story" at Aldovia is so powerful that the Prince came to her door to propose on New Year's Eve.
Then he swears that he will never ask her to give up her career, but the magical moment of proposing marriage in the snow, never explained to us how Amber maintained her career while becoming a full-time employeetime princess.
The lesson is obvious: big career breaks are not enough for a happy ending.
You need a man for this.
Once you get him, career is optional.
The boundaries of these heroines are blurred.
Their work is the way to romantic happiness, the means to achieve the purpose, not the purpose itself.
Sometimes designed by the heroine, sometimes by accident;
It happens no matter why or how.
At a time of intense public debate, what is appropriate behavior in a professional environment and what is inappropriate behavior --
What is romance, what is harassment? —
The only type made for women did not help. Rom-
Coms assures us that if you fall in love while the credit rolls, then any inappropriate workplace behavior will not really be inappropriate.
Catherine Heigel's staff watched strangers turn on Heigel's vibrating underwear with a remote control, triggering a climax during a business dinner? That’s fine;
The audience knew they were born for each other, and the happy ending proved them right.
The story notes of Amber hole in Prince Christmas have brought a lot of fun to people.
A photo on her computer screen shows many of her notes "I have to find out the answer ! "! ”;
"I still don't know the real story ";
"I have to dig deeper"-basically the equivalent of "I should probably do my job, well. So she should.
But she does it by immoral means, and once it does, she implicitly removes herself from journalism in the name of love.
If what has been taught in the past two months, it is that real women's careers tend to be subject to collateral damage and are belittled or eliminated by cultures that think men's jobs are more valuable.
The past two months have shown us that women journalists can reshape the world better if they do their job well.
It would be great if romantic comedy showed us the same thing.
Correction: Earlier versions of the story mistakenly identified the Prince in Prince Christmas as Edward.
