The Paper is a comedy series set in the newsroom of the Toledo Truth Teller, a local newspaper in the American city of Toledo, Ohio. It follows the staff as they try to produce news with limited resources while dealing with workplace relationships and rivalries.
Ned Sampson is the paper’s editor, responsible for leading the newsroom, while Mare Pritti is one of its reporters. Their relationship has developed alongside the paper’s recent recognition at state journalism awards, creating a potential conflict between personal feelings and professional roles.
The show is connected to the earlier workplace comedy The Office through Oscar Nuñez’s returning character, Oscar Martinez, though it has its own setting and group of characters. Its stories use the pressures facing local journalism, including competition, public interest investigations and breaking news, as the backdrop for comedy.
