Further details
Finding himself lost in the ever-changing world of newspapers, old skool journalist Maddox Bradley struggles to keep up with new technology and marketing techniques. He feels the art of getting out there and finding stories is being forgotten and he is not about to let that happen. So tries to remind his colleagues that journalism is meant to ask difficult questions and report proper news - not soft-sell celebrity interviews, rehashed PR stories and offer up lifestyle questionnaires.
