AARON SORKIN'S THE NEWSROOM ( FINAL SEASON )

The six episode final season of Aaron Sorkin's THE NEWSROOM will begin on Sunday, November 9 on HBO at 9:00.

The show explores the problems of a fictional newsroom reporting on actual recent events. Editorial decisions, journalistic responsibilities, legal, ethical, moral, business and personal issues all come into play.

It's a great and fascinating show!

Watching and discussing this show should be required coursework in any school of journalism.

The teaser-trailer for this season looks very interesting:
