Classic journalism-based films like All the President's Men and Spotlight illustrate the drama of reporters uncovering truths. Journalists' stories contribute to a vast intellectual property pool, capturing Hollywood's attention. The IP List, an initiative by PopShift, aims to connect producers with journalistic stories for adaptation, increasing diversity in storytelling. Supported by the Nielsen Foundation, this project responds to a high industry demand for adaptations, highlighting that 64 percent of scripted streaming content comes from existing intellectual property rather than original scripts.
All the President's Men, Spotlight and The Insider are classic movies based on journalism - they follow reporters through the drama of uncovering something unbelievable.
Every story published by a journalist across the nation becomes another piece in an enormous pile of intellectual property, waiting to be noticed by Hollywood producers.
I think the IP piece is the biggest one, because it's where the opportunity is to really take the stories that are happening in communities and are being told by these outlets.
According to PopShift, 64 percent of scripted streaming content is adapted from existing IP rather than original screenplays.
