A young and aspiring journalist must watch (at least) three following films ….
1) ROMAN HOLIDAY….. ..Acting ..Audrey Hepburn , Gregory Peck (To learn when you should ‘kill’ your best scoop/ exclusive story and consign it to silence forever)
2) ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN … Acting Robert Redford as Bob Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein based on Watergate Scandal ( To understand as to how one should go ahead with investigative journalism and take on the mighty power with the pen..and also as to how one journo should protect his ‘source’)
3) THE KILLING FIELD …. Acting Samuel ( Sam) Waterston and Haing S Ngor..( To get some ideas as to how much courage one journalist often needs to work in a bloody conflict zone and doggedly pursue his task despite threats to life )
