Journalism films have the power to inform audiences about this important profession and what it seeks to uphold: the truth. From the Oscar-winning Spotlight to the Me Too-focused She Said, stories about investigative journalists who spend months on end interviewing sources and fact-checking information before delivering the scoop are often depicted onscreen. Yet, there are only a few titles that actually focus on other professions inside the newsroom that are just as important when it comes to breaking the news. Netflix's Scoop is an example of a film about journalism, without it being just about the journalist. Based on Sam McAlister's book, the drama project pulls the curtain on the infamous Prince Andrew interview for the BBC, in which he addresses his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The film is centered on McAlister herself (played by Billie Piper), a producer who was a key person in securing the interview in the first place.
