The Menu – 導火新聞線

Description: Supervising and maintaining an orderly society has always been a responsibility that the Media should partake in and support –however, the perception of the news media is oftentimes synonymous with the promotion of violence, sex, bloodiness, and overall havoc in society.  The series will revolve around 3 female news agency workers with very different philosophies on life who, in efforts to gather material for publication of their free newspaper Smart Post (囧報), engage in nearly daily arguments and conflicts.  The chief editor of the newspaper is a woman driven by profit who does not hesitate in publishing unscrupulous, sensationalist reports, even if it means sacrificing moral reporting standards and ethics.  At the same time, the agency’s supervisory staff and reporters are filled with an almost patriotic desire to make the voices of the weak and vulnerable in society heard loud and clear, while simultaneously bringing to light society’s many injustices.  In the face of reality – that is, a commercialized society and the injustices that go along with it — a newspaper that even those in the same industry look down upon, continues to persevere;  ultimately motivated by different goals, its staff continues to struggle daily to reveal – and, in some cases, hide – the truth.  In such a pressure-filled environment, how will the news agency’s staff uphold righteousness while at the same time protect their own reporting aspirations?

監察社會一直是傳媒應有的責任，但暴力、色情、血腥卻是現今傳媒的代名詞。故事講述三位理念不同的女主角在一份免費報紙《囧報》內，每天為了新聞而起衝突。總編輯利字當頭，不惜作出嘩眾取寵的報道，背棄道德責任。採訪主任和記者滿懷熱血，誓要為弱勢發聲，揭發社會的不公！面對商業社會的現實，記者究竟如何彰顯公義，以一枝筆守護理想？
