Months after his arrival, WCNC-TV news director Keith Connors feels he has assembled a winning team, but beneath the surface the newsroom family is riven by tensions. Promotions and demotions cause the reporters to question their director’s motives. One reporter openly rebels after having to cover a story he felt was beneath him. Connors experiences the isolation of leadership’s tough decisions as his team’s cohesion crumbles. (58 minutes)
