The paper says the depiction in the movie of now-deceased reporter Kathy Scruggs, played by Olivia Wilde, is “offensive” and “highly defamatory”.
It wants Hollywood executives to add a disclaimer in the film about the part.
Richard Jewell depicts Scruggs as sleeping with an FBI agent to draw out information from a source in the aftermath of the 1996 Olympic Bombing in Atlanta.
A number of journalists have called the portrayal of Scruggs “boring” and “wrong”, taking to social media to defend female journalists who are repeatedly portrayed by Hollywood in this sexist trope.
