This article proposes an alternative method of categorizing movie journalists based on how a journalist performs his or her job and adheres to professional principles. The article highlights two main character types in films in terms of the journalist�s stance and his or her conduct: �Front Page� and �Truth Searcher� journalists. These two character types are drawn from previous scholarly studies, journalistic principles, and two cornerstone journalism films in cinema history: The Front Page, which created ongoing journalist stereotypes, and All the President�s Men, which portrayed ideal journalists. This article also uncovers the journalistic archetypes, myths, discourses, and messages found in films by analyzing the films� narrative structures. It examines three movies in this respect: Spotlight, Truth, and Nightcrawler, all of which were produced after 2010 and all of which feature a journalist as a main character.
