Storyline
| Plot Summary |
After graduation, Bram gets his dream job at a local newspaper. In his mind he's the next Woodward (but he's probably more of a Bernstein). A year in, he realizes that maybe the paper business is no longer what he'd seen in the movies. Instead of investigative journalism, he is writing easily consumable Top 10 Lists - Best Hot Dogs in the City. Ten Ways to Tell You Grew Up in the 90s. After the paper is hit with another round of layoffs, Bram stumbles upon a potentially explosive story involving the city's controversial mayor. But he needs to beat the mayor's smooth talking aide, Kamal, to the punch. This could be Bram's big break - if he had any idea how to be a real journalist. Written by AnonymusB |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Although The Record newspaper and its failing rookie reporter Bram are fictitious, the Toronto mayor character Rob Ford, his erratic behavior and the scandals surrounding him are entirely based on true events. In 2014, Ford pulled out of his reelection campaign so he could receive treatment for his alcohol and drug addiction. In 2016 he died from cancer at the age of 46. See more » |
| Goofs | Speaking at a news conference, Rob Ford refers to a football rivalry between Toronto and nearby Hamilton, saying "I'm gonna call Mayor 'Britanni' in Hamilton..." BUT the mayor of Hamilton at that time was Bob BRATINA (not Britanni). See more » |
