After sweeping the Ohio Journalism Awards, Editor-in-Chief Ned Sampson sets his sights on a local private club — a crusade that could sink the paper he just saved. Meanwhile, the growing attraction between Ned and reporter Mare Pritti plays out awkwardly in front of the documentary cameras. Managing Editor Esmeralda searches for her footing, two reporters chase a tornado into the Ohio countryside, and the full staff of the Toledo Truth Teller muddles toward something resembling journalism. Created by Greg Daniels (The Office) and Michael Koman (Nathan for You), The Paper is a warmhearted, absurdist workplace comedy about people who genuinely believe local news matters.
