Press is a 2018 television series focusing on two opposing British newspapers, The Herald - Intrepid Reporters whose Honor Before Reason status have led to them falling behind in a more modern age - and The Post - an Expy of The Sun, who generally follow the principles of If It Bleeds, It Leads and frequently feature PageThreeStunnas, which makes them immensely popular largely to the Lowest Common Denominator.

The Artifact

comment
The Artifact: Amina asks how many of the staff actually read the print edition of the paper, resulting in one or two hands going up. However, when questioned if they would miss it and prefer to go exclusively online, the entire staff objects.

comment
Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: The attitude that seperates the Herald from the Post. It is also because of this that Ed finally decides to resign and become a more moral journalist.

Jerkass Has a Point: Duncan is incredibly rude to Holly when she takes part in his morning meeting, but as she has been employed that very day, she should not assume that she has the same privileges as she did back at The Herald.

Lonely at the Top: Duncan lives far from his wife and son Freddy, and resorts to hiring an escort just to keep him company rather than for any sexual reasons. This only gets worse when he splits up with his wife, who will not let him see his son again.

How We Got Here: The series begins at the very end, with Holly making a statement to the press; the rest of the series shows the events that led up to that moment.

My God, What Have I Done?
 Press / int_a1b141f4
comment
My God, What Have I Done?: Holly gives Duncan the suggestion to turn around the public feeling that The Post was responsible for a teenage boy's suicide into heading an anti-bullying campaign. After seeing the boy's grieving mother being strongly encouraged to film an insert for them mere hours after her son's death, Holly is horrified what her suggestion has brought about and leaves her temporary position for good.

Reasonable Authority Figure: George Emmerich tries to curb Duncan's more ruthless tendencies (forcing him to apologise for the Prime Minister for example), but also encourages the potential he sees in him. He is however, driven by his own business interests.
