The cult classic show mainly revolves around bureaucracy and the nexus between crime and the lofty institutions of our society like police, education, and media. But amidst all this, there is one character, Haynes (portrayed by Clark Johnson), who is a commanding editor-in-chief and knows the importance of journalistic ethics. His morality creates clashes with the higher-ups and even with budget cuts, he goes on working on his stories.
