I don’t know much about this, other than what is announced here. Interesting.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–April 26, 2005–Bravo has inked a deal with Hearst Entertainment, Inc. to produce six, one-hour episodes of the first documentary series set in the newsroom of one of the nation’s largest newspapers, it was announced today by Lauren Zalaznick, president of Bravo, and Bruce Paisner, president of Hearst Entertainment. The series is scheduled to premiere on Bravo in 2006.

“The Daily News” (working title) follows the editorial staff of the New York Daily News–providing a true, behind-the-scenes perspective of a working newsroom. Filmed with the intimacy of a documentary, with total and complete access, but structured and edited like a traditional dramatic series, “The Daily News” presents a handful of key editors and reporters as they cope with deadlines and the competition and pressures associated with journalism at a big-city tabloid.

Each episode of “The Daily News” follows four to five characters as they track and pursue New York City’s most exciting stories. Against the backdrop of a vicious tabloid war with a competing paper and the unrelenting deadlines that are a part of their world, each character will battle for stories while trying to keep a handle on their personal lives.
