The Reporter (TV series)

The Reporter was an American drama television series that aired on CBS during the 1964-1965 season. The series starred Harry Guardino as Danny Taylor, a hard-nosed, independent reporter working for the New York Globe.

The show focused on Taylor's gritty investigations into various crimes and social issues in New York City. He often found himself at odds with both criminals and authority figures as he pursued the truth. Guardino's character was known for his dedication to his craft and his unwavering commitment to justice.

The series co-starred Gary Merrill as Lou Remson, Taylor's editor at the Globe. Remson served as a mentor and sometimes a buffer between Taylor and the newspaper's management. The relationship between Taylor and Remson was a key element of the show, representing the tension between journalistic integrity and the practical constraints of running a newspaper.

The Reporter was produced by Screen Gems and filmed in New York City, lending the series a sense of realism. Despite its focus on relevant social issues and strong performances, the show was cancelled after one season, consisting of 13 episodes.

While its run was brief, The Reporter is remembered as a realistic and compelling portrayal of the life of a newspaper reporter in the 1960s. It is available on DVD.
