As a newspaper obsessive, during the UK’s COVID-19 lockdown, I started compiling and reviewing a list of films set in newspapers or featuring journalists. Since then, it’s continued to grow. This is the complete list of films I’ve discovered so far. I’ve reviewed some and will add more films as I come across them.
* I’ve not included more general journalism movies or most comedies – a completely biased editorial decision, I know.

The majority of these are shot in the US and featuring US newspapers. I’m particularly keen to get recommendations from other parts of the world.

If you have a newspaper-related movie recommendation, please get in touch.
