## Resource

Domhnall Gleeson returns as Ned Sampson, the new editor of a dying Ohio newspaper, in the hilarious and chaotic second season of “The Paper.” Torn between saving the paper, navigating workplace rivalries, and developing feelings for coworker Mare, Ned battles absurd small-town journalism in a show that’s equal parts workplace comedy and heartfelt drama. Early reactions are split—some viewers are hooked, others haven’t even started—but one thing’s clear: “The Paper” is sparking serious conversation.
