Read All About It!

In the cutthroat world of the newsroom, what goes on behind the scenes is often as juicy as the headlines splashed across the front page—at least if these ink-stained classics are to be believed. Pressure-cooker deadlines, muckraking, whistle-blowing, backstabbing, libel, ethical dilemmas, and the desperate, unscrupulous lengths some reporters will go to get a story—it’s all part of the industry that makes the news cycle go round. From snappy pre-Code template-setters ( Five Star Final , Blessed Event ) to whirlwind screwball comedies ( Nothing Sacred , His Girl Friday ) and hard-hitting social exposés ( Gentleman’s Agreement , Ace in the Hole ), this hot-off-the-presses lineup has the scoop on the stories behind the stories.
