What The Paper Is About

A single day at a New York tabloid: the fight over the front page, an editor caught between a pregnant wife and a job offer, a story nobody has verified, and hours until the presses run. Ron Howard builds it on speed and holds the romance of the trade and its commercial reality in view at once. The moral knot is precise: if you believe the story is wrong but cannot prove it, do you stop the print run? The large cast is well used, everyone has a job.
