Regarded as the powerhouse of talent, Vidya Balan delivered yet another memorable role as a Journalist in Jalsa, released on Prime Video on March 18 last year. Vidya skillfully portrayed the role of Maya Menon, a TV journalist in constant pursuit of truth with shades of grey.

While Kartik has been loved for his charm and chocolate boy looks, he broke the mould with his portrayal of a serious TV reporter in 'Dhamaka', a performance that won him unanimous praise and accolades. 

In Scoop, the actress slips into the shoes of a crime journalist Jigna Vora, who was wrongly jailed for a murder. Giving a spectacular performance, Karishma did a great job in the 2023 thriller. 

Jaideep who played a blood-hungry journalist in The Broken News, exuded the confidence and ambition of Dipankar (his character) in every frame and he convinces the audience in no time that he is indeed an immoral journalist who will sell everyone and everything for that big scoop.

Adding to the list of well portrayed Journalist roles is actress Shreya Dhanwanthary's role in Scam 1992. Shreya Dhanwanthary really showcased her range of acting skills playing her part in Scam 1992.
