Editor of the Year

Drawing on Barbara Nachman’s decades in newspapers, Editor of the Year is a sharp, funny satire about the American newspaper struggling to survive the Internet age.

At its center is an arrogant, incompetent executive editor who — against all odds — finds himself nominated for journalism’s highest prize. Will he destroy the newspaper, or walk away Editor of the Year?

Beneath the comedy runs real affection for the idealistic people who bring us the daily news, and a clear-eyed look at the self-inflicted mistakes made along the way.
