The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is asking Warner Bros. and the makers of 'Richard Jewell' to release a statement acknowledging it took dramatic license when it portrayed journalist Kathy Scruggs as trading sex for tips.
"I think this letter makes it clear how seriously we take the misrepresentation of our reporters' actions and of the actions of the newspaper during that time," he said."We have been clear about how disturbed we are in the film's use of a Hollywood trope about reporters...and how it misrepresents how seriously journalists concern themselves with reporting accurately and ethically.
Singer sent the letter on behalf of the paper and its owner Cox Enterprises. In it, he also asserts that not only does the film fail to accurately characterize Scruggs' behavior, it also misrepresents the role that the paper's reporting played in exonerating Jewell. Eric Rudolph, an American terrorist, was later found to have been responsible for setting off a bomb that killed two people and injured 111 others.
Riley did not personally know Scruggs and was not at the paper during the time of the bombing. A recent article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution talked to people who knew and worked with Scruggs and who felt that her portrayal in the film"veers from reality." It quotes Ron Martz, who co-bylined Scruggs' initial story on Jewell being a suspect, with saying that no one associated with the film reached out to him.
