“The Paper” star Domhnall Gleeson hears a lot from journalists these days — and the frequent refrain from reporters is that they appreciate being seen as their profession struggles to maintain its foothold. “It’s been a common theme that people who have seen the show and are involved in journalism seem to like it and seem to recognize that we care about it,” Gleeson tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast, “and that’s been a lovely kind of aspect to the whole thing.”
