SYNOPSIS
Reporter Confidential follows the journey of local news reporter, Monica Jones as she returns home to Virginia after working in Kansas for over two years. A lot has changed since she left, but being home allows her to rekindle old relationships and build new ones.
Jones is reunited with her mentor Caroline Porter, who is a former news anchor/reporter at WKUT 4 and considered a living legend in the community for her work in social justice. Like her mentor, Monica wants to make a difference through her storytelling, but she runs into several obstacles outside and inside WKUT 4. Her biggest obstacles are the stories she covers, which includes an array of issues from black lives matter, local politics corruption, police brutality, to college campus sexual violence.
Monica seeks solace in several individuals. One happens to be Chris Robinson, an anchor/reporter at the rival station, WVEK 3. The two work together on their stories and eventually develop a relationship outside of the chaotic world of journalism. Monica also rebuilds her relationships with her older sister, Donna Jones; an old fling turned detective Tyree ‘Smokey’ Graham and former high school sweetheart turned NFL superstar and hometown hero, Darius Thomas.
Her work drama tends to overshadow her personal life due to gossip, betrayal and issues within the newsroom. All thanks to her News Director, Mike O’Conner and colleague Carter Sullivan. However, Monica manages to fight through and remain true to the ethics of journalism.
