"What the beauty is of journalism and the beauty of storytelling is that we have that ability to shine a light on things and give them a broader audience. One of the great things about the show is that they spent the money to have us go to Alaska because Alaska is a character in the show. "That's one of the great things about being a storyteller is you have that ability to hopefully affect change for the positive in the long run." "It's one of the great joys of being an actor. She shared that in preparation to familiarize herself with the complexities of being a working journalist, she and McCarthy worked with many of the same journalists he went to for guidance while making Spotlight. I think about some of the things I've done in the past from Boys Don't Cry and starting a conversation that then gets people talking about something that needs change," she says. Swank expressed optimism that as the series unfolds, they'll be able to incorporate real headlines into the DNA of its stories. And all of those things just enticed me," Swank says later in a formal interview, adding it was "important" for her to be a producer on the project because of "the collaborative process." And this, by the way, is really happening in real life and something we need to get to the bottom of. Obviously, it's not his first foray into journalistic storytelling, something he does very well, and he told me what the show was about and what it was encompassing. The drama series, which debuts Thursday, follows Swank's Eileen Fitzgerald, a talented and award-winning investigative journalist who leaves her high-profile New York life behind after a fall from grace to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska, on a journey to find both personal and professional redemption.

The Oscar-winning medical marvel—congrats on the twins!—stars in “Alaska Daily,” ABC's new drama about a disgraced journalist that is shockingly great.

A network drama that doesn’t sacrifice its social tenets for mass appeal: Who figured we’d have to go all the way to Alaska to get that? While its central mystery is certainly engrossing, I’m inclined to stay in Alaska for the locals. But it’s that callousness, which gets in the way of her being a decent human, that really triggers her downfall—not a journalistic source that needs more verifying. Eileen might have more formal experience than her peers in the Anchorage newsroom, but in a place like Alaska, that only gets her so far. She’s a woman who didn’t come to prominence in her career by making friends, and she’s tired of watered-down, overly sanitized journalism that lacks sting. The only way she’ll be able to solve these murders before someone else turns up dead is to find out why her walls are so impenetrable. It’s only natural that she would have a difficult time adapting to a different set of standards and practices. No one knows more about that than Roz (Grace Dove), a gallant Alaska Native assigned to work alongside Eileen. Normally, any show in which a character says, “Stop acting like a bunch of scared woke wussies more interested in eating their own than reporting the news,” would send my eyes rolling like a hamster wheel out of control. They perfectly illustrate the show’s suggestion that, despite all of its natural beauty, Alaska has just as much of a dark underbelly as anywhere else. Stories of Eileen’s gruff treatment of the junior staff at her newspaper don’t help her case, either. This is the rare, modern network drama to balance mass appeal with semi-progressive ideology.

In ABC's “Alaska Daily,” Swank plays a seasoned investigative journalist who takes a job in Alaska to look into unsolved cases of missing and murdered ...

The Oscar winner leaves ambition behind for a by-the-numbers ABC drama about a big-shot reporter forced to start over at the local level.

Such eagerness to be found out can be partly chalked up to the way procedurals work: Each week, there’s a mystery, and each week, the mystery is solved. Everything you expect to happen in “Alaska Daily” will happen, and there’s too little humor, romance, and wit to turn a rote crime procedural into a comforting weekly watch. And after two episodes, the show could set itself on a better course. (“Alaska, Daily” also has a long-term, serialized investigation focusing on a pattern of murdered Indigenous women.) Audiences can take comfort in getting firm answers to one plot while anticipating answers to the other plot in future episodes. With a staff of 25 covering the largest state in America, there’s plenty of stories to be found north of Vancouver, he promises, and the paper (yes, they still print a physical paper) needs Eileen’s experience, instincts, and tenacity to keep the citizens of our country’s third least-populated state in the know. Within the first two episodes, multiple adults confess to major felonies without so much as light pressure being applied — and confess on the record! The latter point proves particularly vexing — given the series’ half-assed attempt to explain the divisive state of America by claiming a lack of effort on “both sides” — but that, at least, is an Episode 2 problem. At worst, they’re insulting — to anyone who’s actually lived in a “small town” and to anyone who expects more from people clearly capable of it. [Alaska Daily](https://www.indiewire.com/t/alaska-daily/),” created by McCarthy (who writes and directs the pilot), and starring Swank (who also serves as an executive producer), is objectively not good. The second-most senior editor is similarly in the dark over why journalists and cops may not always see eye to eye. One young reporter is so naive, she needs a pep talk to understand the basic purpose of her job. Harnessing the power afforded an Oscar winner, let alone someone with two little gold men on their mantel, is a delicate endeavor.
