Behind the News

City Editor Vic Archer assigns student reporter Jeff Flavin to veteran newsman Stuart Woodrow, primarily to get on Woodrow's nerves. Jeff has long admired Woodrow, but is saddened to see the cynical and unprofessional state to which Woodrow has declined. Woodrow, for his part, tries to cure Jeff of his idealism and cause him to leave the newspaper business. Jeff, though, sticks to his guns and saves Woodrow's reputation by filing a big scoop under Woodrow's name after Woodrow had missed it. (imdb)
