主要人物介紹
Will McAvoy(傑夫·丹尼爾斯)是一位資深新聞節目主持人，為ACN電視網八點檔旗艦節目《晚間新聞》帶來超高收視率，因為飛揚跋扈、剛愎自用，引發過團隊成員的不滿，於是集體被挖角。由此他不得不帶領一批全新的團隊成員，重振《晚間新聞》的旗鼓。同時，Will也是個憤世嫉俗的牛人，對當今美國的弊端揭露得一針見血，只要在鏡頭前收起了臭脾氣，他便所向披靡。
McAvoy的老闆、ACN電視網新聞部部長Charlie Skinner(薩姆·沃特森),他是ACN電視網新聞部部長，繫心如明鏡的牛人，有卓越的眼光與新聞理想，知道該如何拯救一檔新聞節目，眼光更是準得驚人，這才將Will用在了刀刃上，同時也竭力維護這檔節目中的所有人才。別看老爺子平常愛裝糊塗，時常偷偷在辦公室用電腦打牌什麼的，卻早已決意將新聞節目結構推倒重組，締造一波又一波的收視高峰。
MacKenzie McHale(艾米莉·莫迪默)這位拿過兩座皮博迪獎盃的女強人，其父親當年是柴契爾夫人的駐聯合國大使，在美國出生的她是不折不扣的愛國主義者。作為《晚間新聞》這檔節目的“二把手”，她處處彰顯“頭兒”的風範，雖然私人感情處理得一團糟，對新聞的敏感度異常犀利，能打中事件的七寸，也扣緊了“新聞”的“新鮮度”與“關鍵點”，開拓了一片精彩的新聞報導之天地。
Jim Harper、Margaret Jordan、Don Keefer、Neal Sampat和Sloan Sabbith組成了。他們一開始合作得並不十分愉快，但他們很快達成了一個共識：他們要做一檔最優秀的電視新聞節目，他們要正確地報導電視新聞。
Jim Harper(小約翰·加拉赫),雖然他是被McHale趕鴨子上架的高級節目製片人，卻非常有手段，知道利用線人來收羅新聞情報，擅長應付一切突發事件，也曾服過兵役。某種意義上來講，Jim頗有“扮豬吃老虎”的味道，總是用一張娃娃臉迷惑眾生，最後卻能擋下所有的風波。
Jim十分迷戀同事Margaret Jordan(艾麗森·皮爾),資歷尚淺的聯合製片人Margaret Jordan從實習生乾到轉正，雖然經驗不足，但辦事認真，也敢於表達想法，也正在努力克服自己的恐懼症。這女孩善良、聰明、敢於承擔，具備“晨間劇女主角”的熱血特質。
Margaret的男朋友Don Keefer(托馬斯·薩多斯基),這位對Will一直不滿的執行製片，勉為其難加入這個團隊，對Will和McHale都有點兒瞧不起，在《晚間新聞》幹活純屬“友情贊助”，但經驗老道，能力卓越，同時他還是Margaret的男友。
Neal Sampat(戴夫·帕特爾),每部劇中總要有一位高智商天才，《新聞編輯室》中這個偉大任務就給了“貧民窟的百萬富翁”了，他負責維護Will的部落格，收集網上情報，具備超強記憶力，能完美地分析事件，通過大學裡製作物理模型的經驗給你精確解釋油井爆炸的嚴重後果，系罕見的編輯室天才少年。
Sloan Sabbith(奧立薇婭·瑪恩)則是ACN電視網的經濟新聞評論家。高智商美女，經濟學研究生、博士生及博士後，在經濟領域有15年的造詣，拒絕華爾街投資銀行四百萬年薪的工作，為了新聞理想一直在電視台奮鬥，非常有個性以及魅力。曾經因為日本核泄露等級的事件，在節目上直接用日語逼問日本方面的發言人而差點導致事業觸礁。她是Mac的“閨蜜”。保持single是因為“男人都被我的高智商嚇跑了”，實則上跟唐會比較配對。
