“Set in the fast-paced and challenging environment of the British newspaper industry, Press will immerse viewers in the personal lives and the constant professional dilemmas facing its characters,” “The series follow their lives as they attempt to balance work and play, ambition and integrity, amid the never-ending pressure of the 24-hour global news cycle and an industry in turmoil.”

Our two main characters are Charlotte Riley, who plays a Deputy News Editor of the fictional broadsheet The Herald, and Ben Chaplin, who is the Editor of tabloid newspaper The Post.

I am enjoying this more than I initially first expected. I do much prefer the Post scenes though, particularly this week where the focus was most with Charlotte Riley’s character there. Although the Post is clearly just the Sun/News of the World, it can be based on any of the main tabloids whereas the Herald is so CLEARLY just The Guardian (even down to this week where they said it was £2, they ask for donations on their website etc) it literally may as well be called the Guardian on the show.
