William de Worde founded the Ankh-Morpork Times, the first newspaper on Discworld. The James Bond Villain in Tomorrow Never Dies was dedicated to ruling the world with Fake News. TinTin solved crime the old-fashioned way: with a typewriter and a twin-lens reflex camera. Sarah-Jane Smith, companion to the third and fourth Doctor, acted as snoopy journalist when necessary, and as the traditional 1970s SF Screamer at other times.
