In most of the movies or TV series, journalist characters are often represented in one way: stereotyped. Namely, a man in his 30's and single. Journalism is filled with stress due to the constant awareness those workers face since the news stays ongoing.
The job of a journalist is infinite; it requests availability and a total implication in their work. Moreover, journalists usually work for major companies, located in big cities. This case appears in the film "One fine day", the main character works as a reporter for the Daily News, in New York City, or in "Superman" which shows a journalist working in the famous fictional Daily planet. They both live in apartments which are usually portrayed as messy with papers, books, clothes or food spread all around the rooms, as if the person who "lives" there does not clean because of the lack of time provided his job. Furthermore, it also shows that when the journalist does not work at his office, he writes his articles at home, as in the film "All the president's men"...
