The Newsroom (2012)
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.

What critics compared The Newsroom to
The inclusion of January 6, with people watching a screen à la Newsroom…
…resembling an extended episode of his finger-wagging HBO series, The Newsroom (which I loved)…
…especially after years of being overexposed to his style on The West Wing and The Newsroom…
…something which his least elegant work has sometimes fallen prey to (such as The Newsroom)…
Back in 2012, during a press junket for The Newsroom Aaron Sorkin traded barbs with an interviewer who dared to fight smarm with snark.
Whether it’s A Few Good Men, The West Wing, or The Newsroom, Sorkin has an immense respect for the importance of America’s institutions…
It tries to emulate better fictional newsroom works like Steven Spielberg's The Post, Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom, and Tom McCarthy's Spotlight…
…there’s a whiff of Aaron Sorkin like self-aggrandizement, reminiscent of The Newsroom, where journalists seem to take undue credit for historical events.
The result is somewhere between The Newsroom and Good Night, and Good Luck…
