The story so far
Everything you need before watchingJudge Sweeney has just ruled to unseal the documents. In the newsroom that sounds like a First Amendment win — until Marty Baron refuses to run it big. Robby has been sitting on letters that show Cardinal Law knew and did nothing. Mike wants the whole system, not a one-off scandal. Baron buries the ruling in Metro and trades six weeks: publish the full story after New Year's, before the rest of the files go public. Watch how a deadline becomes a deal.
