Na przykładzie dwóch procesów: znanego koszykarza Kobe Bryanta, oskarżonego o gwałt na młodej dziewczynie i Michaela Jacksona oskarżonego o wykorzystywanie seksualne chłopca, zobaczymy, jak amerykańskie media robią wiadomość z niczego, poświęcając sławom więcej miejsca, niż wojnie czy naturalnym katastrofom.
W jaki sposób uzyskały tak wielką władzę?
Dzięki ustawom wprowadzonym za administracji Reagana i Clintona, telewizja, prasa i radio stały się potężnymi firmami, nastawionymi wyłącznie na zysk.
A co przynosi najwięcej pieniędzy?
Skandal seksualny z udziałem sław. Media mogą uczynić z zera słynną osobę, a później jednym ruchem ją zniszczyć. Dziennikarze nieustannie poszukują sensacji, a jeśli ich nie znajdują, sami ją tworzą. Nikomu nie zależy na prawdzie. Lekceważy się prawa ofiar do prywatności, a oskarżonych do sprawiedliwego wyroku. Wokół procesów odbywa się cyrk medialny, a każda kolejna sprawa z udziałem sławnej osoby budzi większe zainteresowanie.
Gorączka medialna rośnie na naszych oczach.

Breaking News
A film by Brian Malone
Produced by Malone Media Group
USA | 2006 | 56'
www.breakingnewsfilm.com
When the big business of news media comes to town on the trail of a sensational celebrity trial, lives are changed, stars are created or destroyed and ethical barriers shattered. The trials develop into defining cultural events, dividing communities and dominating lunchroom banter with tales of murder, sex and scandal. But why is it news?
With the O.J. Simpson case as culmination, celebrity trials have always been the focus of American and international news media. The recent trials of NBA star Kobe Bryant, pop superstar Michael Jackson were no exception. In Eagle, Colorado alone, more than 400 accredited journalists descended on a little-known town best known as a swell place to launch an elk-hunting trip. In Santa Maria, California, more than 1800 journalists from as far away as Russia showed up to cover Michael Jackson's woes.
BREAKING NEWS turns the camera on the cameras with access to the inner workings of the news teams. We follow producers and reporters as they scramble to put together stories about basically nothing.
BREAKING NEWS dramatically confronts one of the most pressing issues facing modern media-the constant pressure on television news organizations for ratings and money. We examine how celebrity scandals are low-hanging fruit and continue to discredit TV news as an institution. Viewers who rely on TV news for information will get a rare opportunity to witness the forces shaping their nightly newscasts.
In vivid detail, BREAKING NEWS chronicles the vast resources the modern media corporations pour into these cases - at a time when broadcasters are slashing newsroom budgets and closing bureaus around the world.

A Note From The Director
In America, TV news needs some work. Television news was created as a public service for all of us. TV stations broadcast over "our" public airwaves. Broadcasters used to have an obligation to provide responsible news content that will help all of us make better decisions and become better informed about the issues that affect our lives. That landscape has changed.
TV news is now big business and provides a major cash flow for most commercial TV stations and networks that provide news. Like any for profit business, the bottom line is now the top priority. So now, in many cases, responsible journalism has taken a back seat to the sex appeal of any given news story.
This may seem an overstatement of the obvious. But remember, news is supposed to be one of the underpinnings of our fundamental rights of freedom of speech. And TV news was supposed to be a public service.
Generally, TV news organizations fill a good portion of their news segments with more low-hanging fruit stories, the easy targets, that have little or no true news value. Shootings, stabbings and famous people in trouble. Often, stories that have no connection to us, except that they were “caught on tape” make the cut. TV news organizations can create a major news event out of a celebrity gone wrong. News broadcasters say what a celebrity does is news, simply because that person is a celebrity. But trying to attach true news value to a celebrity scandal can be tricky. More likely, broadcasters are trying to get you to watch them, and tune away from their competitors. The more viewers, the better the ratings and the more money that station can charge for commercial time. But that doesn’t necessarily make better and more valid news. It’s not a matter of whether or not TV stations should be allowed to commercialize their news programs, it’s to the degree they have been allowed.
News organizations claim we have the right to know. But is it right for us to know about celebrities’ tawdry acts in great detail? And at what expense to what is really going on in the world around us that truly affects our lives?
