This is a working list of movies about journalists or journalism or in some cases, movies that just have journalists as main characters. Some of these are true stories or loosely based on truth; others are pure fiction. Many are serious, informative and inspirational; some are creepy;  many involve romance and comedy and a few are extremely silly. First are feature films, and then a separate list for documentaries. The list skews heavily towards Hollywood, but I am working on making this more international. Suggestions welcome!
