The Paper Man (1990)

Phillip Cromwell, a young Australian with a head full of ideals and a bag full of borrowed money, makes a bid for a run-down Sydney afternoon newspaper. Starting in 1962, the series charts this determined and charismatic man's rise to power in the turbulent world of the international media from the heady early days of the 'Sydney Globe' to the final battle with printers and journalists which brings Fleet Street to its knees.
