This Man is News is a 1938 British comedy mystery film directed by David MacDonald and starring Barry K. Barnes, Valerie Hobson, Alastair Sim and Edward Lexy. The screenplay concerns a journalist who solves a crime of which he himself is suspected. A "quota quickie", it was made for a mere £6,000, but "was among the highest grossing films of 1938". It was loosely modelled on the American Thin Man series of films. A sequel, This Man in Paris, was made in 1939.
