the press and on television, State of play was presented as a hardcopy film on the relationship between journalism and online journalism. Intrigued by this premise, yesterday I watched the film. The story revolves around Cal McAffrey (Russell Crowe), sailed journalist in Washington, working to solve a political intrigue through his articles. In practice nothing more than a restatement in modern terms of All the President's Men, which presents a romantic vision of journalist assault always looking for the truth to be achieved at any cost, even to giving up personal attachments. For help in this "investigative journalism" involved a young bloggers just hired by the newspaper. At Cal has little account of the work of my colleague, but at the end of the story will change your opinion. And all the analysis of the relationship between blogs and journalism traditional limited to this human relationship, stereotyped, and already seen in many other jobs. does not make sense, unlike the film it is presented, how it is changing journalism, the radical changes that the internet and new means of communication are leading to all the information world. The only words spoken are those ironic Blog Cal that answering a question by my colleague says, "Before I answer I read a couple of blogs." The blog is considered the death of journalism, the scene of an untruthful information and only tabloid. This is partly true, but a film that aims to investigate the relationship between old and new forms of communication can not be limited to this statement. Overall
State of play is a good political thriller, full of suspense and surprises, but it is not an 'analysis of the relationship between traditional journalism and blogs. Below the video of the trailer Italian public:
