The Newsroom
More as the story develops.
Created by Aaron Sorkin
On HBO
An idealistic, fast-paced workplace drama about journalists fighting to do ethical news amid institutional and personal pressures, driven by dialogue and moral conviction rather than plot mechanics.
A behind-the-scenes look at the people who make a nightly cable-news program. Focusing on a network anchor, his new executive producer, the newsroom staff and their boss, the series tracks their quixotic mission to do the news well in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles-not to mention their own personal entanglements.
