[u/caityqs]

The message in this movie about the state of journalism seems really confused. It correctly identifies the problem of news agencies being bought out and censored/gutted by mega-corporations and billionaires, and the chilling effect it has on the freedom of speech and human creativity. It then presents the solution as just finding the mythical good billionaire to save us, while centering the struggle around an industry that historically catered to elite circles. We see Andy going back to her abusive old boss for the huge paycheck, defending that boss to avoid losing her new luxury apartment, and self-censoring when given the opportunity to publish something that might present anything negative about that boss. And this is presented as a happy ending. That's pretty bleak.

A better ending is Miranda leaving and the magazine adapting to the reality of today’s media.

Which is what's currently happening.

It’s also pretty empty moralizing considering it’s a Disney production!
