Docudrama and journalism have an historic connection - even now. We have a huge responsibility to ensure that certain values in both do not disappear altogether. Amongst these might be: working concepts of 'fairness' and the collective/societal; demonstrable, pre-script, research; citing of sources of information in credits (in particular, making clear whether a story is 'public sphere' research or a tale told and sold in the market). Merging of old and new media is still available to docudrama through the Internet - on which research could be made public. What worked for the McLibel site can work for disease/crisis of the week (but you'd need more that the help-line number). |
