Since Steve Carrell announced that he was leaving ‘The Office,’ everybody wanted to know who would replace the regional manager at Dunder Mifflin. During the finale there was a slue of potential candidates for the new position but no decision was made and, well the season was over. NBC managed to keep a secret that left ‘The Office‘ fans in the dark about the whole thing. Wait no longer! Andy Bernard is taking a raise and assuming more responsibility.

Ed Helms plays the smart looking dimwit salesman who was presented in the show in the third season. Now nationwide fans can rest assured that the Scranton New Jersey offices are in good hands. Andy better watch his back though, I’m sure Dwight is gunning for him.

Andy Bernard’s new character position is of a boss who is terrified of being a boss. He is going out of his way to step his game up and overcome the pressures of the new, more important role as Dunder Mifflin’s regional manager of Scranton New Jersey.

‘The Office’ premiered last night on NBC.

What do you think about Andy Bernard being the new boss?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
