The media is generally portrayed in a negative light on TV and in film - I remember that was brought up in my photography class, in regards to the assignment where we had to go out and ask strangers if we could take their picture. There's a long line of sleazy photogs especially in filmed entertainment. (Which, oddly enough, makes me almost curious to see that show FX is constantly pimping these days, Dirt.) But the crusading reporter seems to have had a heyday with All the King's Men and then fell mysteriously silent.
Or even, in the case of Superman and Spider-Man, the hero who's also a journalist and can publicize his own findings. Once again, comic books for the win!
Ms Marvel also ran a magazine. And in George Perez's update of Wonder Woman from a few years back, she had a publicist. Image spin!
