Broadcast News(1987) Analysis: Likability vs. Expertise. The Incompetent Choices that Lead to Media/Network Industry Crashes
(May 2, 2023 ● Oslin Pierrette) What I got from this film was Likability vs Expertise. You have one character Tom, who can be a dunderfart sometimes, but has a likable image.
