	Author	Review
United States	Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker	"The artificial intelligence of 'The Newsroom.' (...) if the storytelling were more confident, it could take a breath and deliver drama, not just talking points."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"If you're not put off by some of those Sorkin traits (...) then 'The Newsroom' might be a drama that hooks you with what it's ultimately trying to say about some complicated issues"	POS

United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"At its best, 'The Newsroom' has a wit, sophistication and manic energy that recalls James L. Brooks's classic movie 'Broadcast News'. But at its worst, the show chokes on its own sanctimony"	NEU
