Local News: Grace Under Pressure

In response to pressure from the station management for higher ratings, WCNC-TV news gets a reformatted program, a new anchor, and a new emphasis on breaking stories, especially in crime coverage. Once again, ethical conflicts arise as news director Keith Connors and his reporters try to determine how much information regarding an ongoing murder case they can air without jeopardizing the police investigation. At the same time, Connors’ education reporter confronts the most divisive scene yet in the school busing debate and can barely go to air with the story. The 5 o’clock broadcast is a debacle and Connors must lead as never before. (58 minutes)
