Abstract
The reel explores the ripple effect of misinformation. In the workings of a newsroom, where truth takes a backseat to sensationalism. A young reporter is pressurised by his boss to twist facts and turn events into scandolous headlines to maximise shock value. What follows is a satirical look at how media outlets distort stories to drive viewsership, ignoring integrity in favour of virality. Eventually, the public often eager and unquestioning, eats it up without a second thought, highlighting how people easily fall for dramatic headlines. It exposes the toxic cycle between manipulative media and credulous audience. It’s a timely reminder : in the age of viral news, truth often gets left behind – and we are all responsible for what we believe and share.
