Summary

The Newsroom takes a behind-the-scenes look at a cable-news program at the fictional ACN Network, focusing on the on- and off-camera lives of its acerbic anchor, new executive producer, their newsroom staff, their news-division boss, and corporate owner. Overcoming a tumultuous first day--climaxing in a newsflash that a BP oil rig has just exploded in the Gulf of Mexico--the team sets out on a patriotic if quixotic mission to "do the news well" in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles, and their own personal entanglements.
