The movie News of the World (2020) is based on a novel written by Paulette Jiles published in 2016. The story takes place in Texas. The film doesn't reflect much the accounts given by the character played by Tom Hanks. As far as I can remember, his reports are about national news. Perhaps in the time frame when the story takes place, there was not much interest in reporting on the world, considering that the interest in news was much more at the national level, considering the civil war had recently ended. The most interesting thing about the film was getting to know about the job of the character played by Tom Hanks: that of a reader of news published in newspapers, in meetings that he promoted in the circuit of small communities he used to visit. Actress Helena Zengel is very reminiscent of actress Gwendoline Christie from Game of Thrones.
