"The Newsroom" attempts to reclaim The Fourth Estate
The question of journalism's preservation of truth and integrity was largely debated on at "The Newsroom" red carpet in Los Angeles on Wednesday (June 20).
Aaron Sorkin, Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer talked about the much anticipated new HBO series premiering on Sunday (June 24).
Rapid-fire banter, clever posturing about modern-day America and a romantic view of the workplace are all Oscar-winning writer Sorkin trademarks found in his new show, which examines the world of cable TV news centered on unyielding anchor Will McAvoy, played by Daniels.
SOUNDBITE Aaron Sorkin saying (English);
"What it is, is a non-cynical look at the news. It's a workplace story that's idealistic, romantic, optimistic, swashbuckling, oftentimes comedic look at people who are trying very, very hard to do well. They're reaching unrealistically high and so they're going to fall from time to time but we root for them."
"The Newsroom" premieres on HBO on June 24.
