Abstract
This thesis is an attempt to discuss contemporary issues in journalism in the form
of a screenplay. This script builds upon the classic films that preceded it, but differs by
engaging in a dialogue of contemporary issues in journalism. This work focuses on two
main issues in journalism: how modem business models affect journalistic content; and
the current, widely-debated topic of net neutrality. This thesis attempts to discuss these
issues, while using the classic narrative screenplay structure.
