In 'His Girl Friday' (1940), what is the name of the newspaper where Hildy Johnson works?

In “His Girl Friday” (1940), Hildy Johnson works for the newspaper The Morning Post.

Hildy, played by Rosalind Russell, is the paper’s star reporter and former wife of its editor, Walter Burns, played by Cary Grant. She returns to the newsroom intending to leave journalism and marry insurance salesman Bruce Baldwin, but Walter lures her into covering one more major story.

That assignment concerns Earl Williams, a convicted murderer who escapes before his execution. Hildy’s reporting instincts quickly overcome her plans for a quiet life, and she becomes central to the frantic effort to find Williams and uncover the political maneuvering surrounding his case.

The Morning Post is a fictional newspaper, but the film draws on the newspaper culture of Chicago and on the 1928 play “The Front Page.” Howard Hawks’s adaptation changed Hildy from a man into a woman, adding the romantic conflict between Hildy and Walter. Its rapid, overlapping dialogue and newsroom pace became hallmarks of screwball comedy.
