Chuck Plunkett

A secretive hedge fund is plundering America's newspapers, and the journalists are fighting back. Backed by the NewsGuild union, they go toe-to-toe with the faceless Alden Global Capital in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism across America.

News Matters follows Chuck Plunkett and a band of journalists through their paces as they fight to keep their The Post alive in an era of fake news and biased media.
