Default New show about newspapers
New show called "The Tower" is in production. Its about a news tycoon who owns some papers. Heres a part of a story written about the show, from the CBS website....I hope that this sentence is not an example of the writing on the show!

""She's a billionaire media mogul tabloid owner," the Oscar-winner told The ShowBuzz after shooting wrapped for the day. "She has bought recently two newspapers and the one she's about to acquire is a prestigious one."

The show follows a group of reporters as they investigate stories and solve mysteries against the backdrop of the struggle between journalistic ideals and the pursuit of profit."

So the show lasts a season and gets cancelled for poor ratings?

Reminds me of "Lou Grant" from the 1970s and 80s, said Mrs. Pynchon.

Maybe you could audition for the part of the retarded paperboy. It's the role you were born to play.
