Episode 09 - Broadcast News

Broadcast News It’s the movie we almost named this podcast after! Holly Hunter and Albert Brooks star in the 1987 classic Broadcast News, from writer/directer James L. Brooks. Tara and Jacob discuss Hunter’s Oscar-worthy line readings, the ethics of style versus substance in journalism, and past crying jags in the office.   



Box Office Bylines is a show about movies about journalism, hosted by journalists/movie fans Tara Thorne (in Halifax) and Jacob Boon (in Yellowknife).
