Desperate for his father?s approval, a conceited journalist takes a job at his small town newspaper. But when he discovers a drug scandal brewing within the local football club, he pursues the story even though it will implicate his athlete brother.
Here again, you're assuming the plot. Or giving suggestion on what would work better. Let's assume the work is already completed and we're now making our log line to send to whoever we're going to send it to.

Here again, you’re assuming the plot. Or giving suggestion on what would work better. Let’s assume the work is already completed and we’re now making our log line to send to whoever we’re going to send it to. Your suggestion on the plot point is probably not going to help at that point. And if I sent in a log line and the person I sent it to said “why don’t we do this and why don’t we do that”.

Definitely no Act 3 information, but then most of these loglines I’ve been reading don’t. And if it was given to you there’s no follow up interest by someone wanting to finance or know more about your idea or your work. They see the idea as final and make a final, if not impersonal, decision based on that one paragraph. When you’re pitching something, and don’t fool yourself, that’s what you’re doing… don’t give it all away in the first submission.
It’s not my first rodeo.
Also, I think the site should be opened up to pitch lines also, which are more exciting than a logline anyway. Most of the submitters are doing that anyway.
So based on the 2 acts I’ve given the protagonist does this:
