In a certain first-tier city in China, the old news group is facing a digital transformation storm. Lin Xiaohe, a news editor with ideals, struggled repeatedly in the struggle between the old and new camps, traffic pressure, business control and technological innovation. Multi-line stories are intertwined. Frontline reporter Xu Tiancheng collides fiercely in social hot topics reporting and truth exploration; technical director Wen Ran wrestles with commercial needs to promote smart news and algorithm ethics; and commercial director Chen Jiale juggles interests and responsibilities. Senior editor Zhao Yating and News Corporation chairman Fu Ruian reflect the deep structure of the media power game. Everyone experienced the gradual disillusionment of their ideals, the intertwining of family and friendship, the struggle for power in the workplace, and the challenge of social responsibility. In the end, in a large-scale news crisis and change that shocked the industry, they reshaped their beliefs, redefined the relationship between the media and people, and firmly protected the truth and public interests.
