We Just Decided To
"We Just Decided To" is the first episode of the first season of the American television series ''The Newsroom''. It first aired on June 24, 2012 in the United States on HBO. "We Just Decided To" was written by creator Aaron Sorkin and directed by Greg Mottola. In the aftermath of his public tirade, acclaimed Atlantis Cable News anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) returns to his job to find that most of his staff are leaving and his new executive producer is his ex-girlfriend, MacKenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer) and when some breaking news about a potentially disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico hits the network, the staff faces a new challenge.
''Entertainment Weekly'' reported in April 2009 that Sorkin, while still working on the screenplay for ''The Social Network'', was contemplating a new TV drama about the behind-the-scenes events at a cable news program. To research the cable news world, Sorkin had been an off-camera guest at MSNBC's ''Countdown with Keith Olbermann'' in 2010 to observe the show's production and quizzed ''Parker Spitzer''s staff when he was a guest on that show. Sorkin told ''TV Guide'' that he intended to take a less cynical view of the media: "They're going to be trying to do well in a context where it's very difficult to do well when there are commercial concerns and political concerns and corporate concerns."
According to the Nielsen Media Research, the episode attained 2.14 million viewers upon initial airing. "We Just Decided To" received mixed reviews from critics.
==Plot==
The series opens with news anchor Will participating in a debate and giving a controversial speech on America's recent decline as a nation, shocking all those present. In order to avoid the backlash, Will goes on vacation for two weeks, and comes back to work only to find that his executive producer and most of his team are leaving him for another news anchor. He also discovers that his boss has given him a new executive producer, Mackenzie MacHale, with whom Will has bad history. Will eventually allows Mackenzie to work with him but only under the condition that he can fire her at the end of each week. Meanwhile, a news alert comes in about an explosion off the Gulf of Mexico, but no one in the newsroom believes it to be worth pursuing. Thanks to an anonymous tip given to one of Mackenzie's team members, Jim, they start to realize that the fire is actually an oil rig explosion that occurred relatively near to the Louisiana coast and that the oil spill has yet to be plugged. Will decides to take up the case and the Louisiana oil spill ends up being the main piece of news for the evening show. Their show ends up being the only one to do the piece on the oil spill; all other news stations had not realized the severity of the situation and based their shows on the iPhone prototype.
