Who is Ben Urich in Daredevil?

The last real reporter at the Bulletin · Hell's Kitchen

Ben Urich (The last real reporter at the Bulletin) is a character in Daredevil, part of Hell's Kitchen. Ben Urich broke the Kitchen's biggest stories when newspapers still broke things — now he nurses a dying wife, a shrinking beat and an editor who wants lifestyle pieces. Karen Page drags him back to the old work: the pension scam, the shell companies, the name nobody will say aloud. Urich is the show's elegy for accountability journalism, and his final visit — to an old woman who turns out to have a visitor — demonstrates what asking the right question costs in Fisk's city.
