Broadcast News (1987)

A summary written in 1988. (Don't worry, this will soon be over.)

The principal characters are a TV reporter whose ambition is to become an anchorman; a lady TV reporter; a newbie who can't write but whose good looks ensure him a fast rise. Aaron and Tom are the boys' names; Jane is the girl's. Jane falls for Tom, and is loved by Aaron. In the end, nobody gets nobody. Tom is revealed to be just a cynical manipulator, with no ethics or feelings.
