In James L. Brooks’ quirky, romantic comedy, three ambitious workaholics are set loose in a network TV newsroom where their professional and personal lives become hopelessly cross-wired. Tom (William Hurt) is the modern anchorman, smooth, handsome and a bit dumb. Jane (Holly Hunter) is his driven, brilliant producer, determined to turn Tom into a real newsman. And Aaron (Albert Brooks) is a seasoned, totally uncharismatic reporter who can’t stand Tom’s instant success on-camera or with Jane. It all adds up to one explosively funny romantic triangle.
Holly Hunter plays a network news producer who, much to her chagrin, finds herself falling for pretty-boy anchorman William Hurt. He is all glamour without substance and represents a hated shift from hard news toward packaged “infotainment,” which Hunter despises. Completing the triangle is Albert Brooks, who provides contrast as the gifted reporter with almost no presence on camera. He carries a torch for Hunter; she sees merely a friend. Written and directed by James L. Brooks, this shows remarkable insight into the people who make television. On the surface it is about that love triangle. If you look a little deeper, however, you will see that this behind-the-scenes comedy is a very revealing look at obsessive behavior and the heightened emotions that accompany adrenaline addiction. It is for good reason this was nominated for seven Academy Awards (though it did not win any). There are scenes in this movie you cannot shake, such as Hunter’s scheduled mini-breakdowns, or Brooks’s furious “flop sweat” during his tryout as a national anchor. Watch for an uncredited Jack Nicholson as a senior newscaster. –Rochelle O’Gorman
Middle East News
It is a substantially recognized concept that totalistic governments especially belonging to Middle East and Muslim world are regularly employed in unrelenting effort to strangle the high bred technologies of mass-media such as the internet from going against their regional or national privacies for political, security or diplomatic reasons. Western interests on the other hand seem to be exploiting powers of conventional media to move views of the world to advantage of their interest against other areas of the world and especially towards Middle East and the Muslim world.
Plentiful proofs show up that after the infamous attack on World Trade Center on September 11; the relation between western powers and the Middle East and Islamic world have turned bitter. As an outcome it is becoming quite evident that western mass media businesses are on a way to carry out negative information against Islamic world and the Middle East. This is because they want to carry out later motives of their sponsorship, by confronting Muslim views as negative. The financial powers, economic and diplomatic influence make it worse as these mass media giants make it simpler to make the propaganda much louder as it appears thereby regulating views of the world against Muslim world.
The online magazines exploit underlying opportunities of modern mass media programs to circularize new perspectives, ideologies and ideas to the farther part of the globe and also to balance views of the world on happenings that take place globally. Their main aim is to offer and provide facts and truth behind these events. So they offer an insight of the truth to the world thereby changing their views. All the worlds’ 1.5 billion Muslim people take a look on the global issues and events and also form authentic forum for good discussion among Christians, Muslims, Jews ore people from other religion and beliefs. So here the role of online magazine comes in.
What an online magazine requires is to be unbiased and provide news updated with time scale of one minute. They must also provide opinions of the public masses regarding events around them and around globe. They must balance between the world news with an objective to promote brotherhood and peace. Broadcasting news must be authentic so as it does not influence people of other beliefs in a negative manner. That is what every online magazine must do. Healthy discussions must be taken into account on the news forum to promote social respect and required justice.
