I chatted with the creators about the comedy/newspaper nexus from Ben Hecht to Dave Barry.
But Alex Edelman was, unsurprisingly, the most fun to talk about newspapers - he did a Boston Red Sox newsletter as a teen and won a sportwriting award.

So many TV dramas do newspapers dirty - even The Wire! - but The Paper seems to genuinely respect the legacy and ongoing struggles of ink-stained wretches and want to give misinformed America a lesson in journalism 101.

I tried to get a sportwriting job there for years, but I never succeded. The closest I could get was San Antonio. I saw Roger McGuinn in Austin in the early '90s.
