Aug 3, 2020
An under the gun reporter penning her final article prior to her termination taking effect opens the eyes of seemingly the world when she manufactures a character (John Doe) who isn't afraid to express his true thoughts and put his life on the line (pun intended?) to hold them. The newspaper goes along, and even encourages, the deception once the article is widely recognized by the public and they see a gold mine in readership.
Many begin to relate to the thoughts displayed in the recurring articles to the point that the author begins to actually alter her own perception of reality.
