Scott Jones blogs on FTVLive about the TV News shows, TV Journalism and generally about the TV business in general. It’s pretty much wall-to-wall coverage about TV, but recently gives a tour of his home studio.
Note the TV guy displays Newspapers on his brag wall. I guess you could hang a TV monitor on the wall running your best-of tape on a loop, but a Newspaper does the job just fine.
I’m feeling lazy, so I’ll let ChatGPT write this:
“In the gritty trenches of the newspaper world, Press unfurls its narrative, echoing the echoes of yesteryears marred by hacking scandals, navigating the perilous waters of the digital age, and contending with the relentless pulse of the 24-hour news cycle.
Nestled within the hustle and bustle of the British newspaper industry, Press invites viewers into a world where personal lives and professional quandaries dance in perpetual tango.
The series unfolds the intricate tales of these ink-stained warriors, juggling the intricate balance between the daily grind and the pursuit of integrity, all beneath the looming shadow of an industry in flux and the unyielding pressure of a 24-hour global news cycle.
In the spirit of Ernie Pyle, Press paints a vivid portrait of lives at the crossroads of ambition and authenticity, capturing the essence of a profession grappling with the tumultuous winds of change.“
NOTE: Ernie Pyle is mentioned because I included that in the ChatGPT prompt.
Just pointing out that Newspapers have a place in HBO’s The Last of Us.

Saw this is the season opener of Showtime’s Homeland.
Nothing looks more suspicious these days than to pick up a newspaper in a hotel lobby and “read.”
Tip to spies, G-men, and bad guys: You want to look inconspicuous in a hotel lobby?
Use your smartphone like everyone else.
