The Newsroom is attempt to revitalize Journalism

There are all sorts of TV Drama series; some are action and fiction based while others deal with realities, but then there are others that deal with realities in whole new way garnering massive audience. The Newsroom is one such example, it is a political drama based on Behind the scene story of real events inside ACN(Atlantis Cable News) that is purely a fictional news company reporting said events. It has been created and written by Aaron Sorkin; Sorkin who is known most notably for The West West Wing (an Emmy winning and critically acclaimed series) started working on The Newsroom back in 2009 and was given an order by HBO to produce pilot in January 2011.   

The Newsroom is for the ones who take news and journalism seriously, so obviously audience targeted was not huge but still it managed to get huge audience due to its unique way of presenting the storyline. This one for sure is inspirational for future Journalists to be, as for me I am writing this opinion from a normal viewers point of view and in my opinion it is worth a watch due to its take on news in a different way.

The Newsroom grabbed attention via its videos excerpted from first episode in first season that went viral on social media, Will McAvoy made quite an impression on viewers with his explanation as to why America is not a greatest country any more (outstandingly put to the screen).

The show focuses on how journalism should be, helping electorate to make informed and educated decisions not the otherwise. Will McAvoy along with his staff join in together to change the way news is reported via News Night 2.5 in face of all the corporate, commercial and personal obstacles; reviving News Night in light of the quote that ''Every one is entitled to his opinion, but not his facts''.

Just like every other Work of his with serious tone like The Social Network, Money ball or The West Wing; The News Night is centred around ideals that explain how things should be! That is where the value of his work lies and for that very same reason he is considered one of the best screen writers. In my view The Newsroom dint receive the attention and audience that it deserved so well.
