Ted and I have a discussion with Matthew Schwartz, a reporter with BtoB and BtoB’s Media Business, about the image and reputation of the journalism and PR professions as they are portrayed in Hollywood. Woody Allen’s new movie, “Scoop;” Bravo’s reality series, “Tabloid Wars;” and Lizzie Grubman’s “PoweR Girls” all portray professionals in these fields as “drunks and tarts,” according to a recent article by David Carr in the NYT (subscription required). Why is it happening and how are these inaccurate and superficial portrayals affecting the fields of journalism and PR?
