Press (Season 1)

Press (2018) is a BBC drama you can watch online on iFILM. It sets two newsrooms against each other: The Herald, a left-leaning broadsheet clinging to editorial principles, and The Post, a tabloid that abandoned those principles a long time ago and doesn't miss them.

Charlotte Riley plays a Herald reporter pushing a story despite pressure from management; Ben Chaplin is the Post editor who believes the public gets exactly the journalism it deserves. Written by Mike Bartlett, the series moves between the two offices to expose the hacking allegations, collapsing print revenue and the race for clicks that are hollowing the craft from inside. Neither side comes out clean. Stream Press (2018) on iFILM.
