The Paper

The cult series "The Office" is getting a spin-off: "The Paper" revolves around a local newspaper in crisis. The comedy series is not only produced in a pseudo-documentary style like "The Office". It also features a reunion with the same documentary film team. In the new sitcom, they follow the employees of a daily newspaper in the Midwest of the USA. The mockumentary not only makes you laugh with the absurdities of everyday office life in "The Office" style. It also acts as a sharp satire on the media landscape in the USA, where freedom of the press and editorial independence are coming under increasing pressure in the Trump era.
