Why We Rated This on for Ages 13 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The show looks at reporters' professional commitment to their careers. But the series deals with a variety of news events that take place in New York City, most of which aren't positive.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Occasional discussions of violent criminal behavior that might disturb some viewers.
  • Sex:

    Occasional references to sexual behavior.
  • Language:

    Mostly mild: "Damn," etc. Strong curse words are bleeped out.
  • Consumerism:

    Copies of the New York Daily News and competing tabloids are sometimes visible.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Occasional references to alcohol.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Tabloid Wars

Parents need to know that that this series provides some interesting insight into the world of tabloid journalism and on the life of a reporter in a major city. Parents also need to know that some of stories the reporters are working on are a bit strong for younger audiences. The discussions of violent acts (police shootings, hate crimes) and other criminal behavior can be a bit disturbing.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what it would be like to be a journalist. What is the life of a reporter really like? What challenges do reporters face every day as they try to do their jobs? What's the difference between a tabloid and a "regular" newspaper? Families can also discuss the difficult choices people make every day about their careers and their personal lives. Is it possible to have a challenging career and a family? What kinds of sacrifices do we make in order to have the career of our dreams?
