Savage News

by Jessica Yellin, Jessica Yellin (Read by)

Overview

Natalie Savage grew up focusing her ambition on her reporting career instead of her personal life. Now her efforts are paying off. Offered the title of White House correspondent—temporarily—she knows she has the grit, the principles, the news sense to succeed. But first she must compete with a vacuous, popular frat boy for the position.

Navigating rating wars, sexual harassment and an international political crisis to prove herself, Natalie begins to wonder if achieving her dreams really means compromising on everything she stands for.

This juicy insider’s take on the fraught role of today’s press tackles head-on the #MeToo movement as well as the delicate dance between trying to hold truth to power and combating disingenuous charges of fake news.

Editorial Reviews

"Jessica Yellin is the clear honest voice of our generation."-Amy Schumer

"Given her experience, she clearly knows where many bodies are buried."-Page Six

"Savage News is an incisive, hilarious, all-too-real look at a media culture that deserves skewering from someone who knows it best." — Jon Favreau, Founder and Co-Host Pod Save America

"If The Devil Wears Prada and Broadcast News had a love child, it would be this hilarious satire of the Washington circus. ... funny, smart, and nails our current moment. "- Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global

"Jessica Yellin has written the first novel that truly captures the political and media moment in which we're living. She weaves the absurdity, the gravity and the enormity of the moment together in a highly entertaining narrative. Most impressive - Yellin nails all of the little details in a way that puts you deep inside the most insidery practices and traditions of Washington today. A true must read."
—Nicolle Wallace, Host MSNBC's Deadline: White House, author Eighteen Acres

"A page-turning story that takes you behind the scenes of covering the President of the United States while managing all the demands, expectations, and criticisms..." -Dana Perino, Former White House Press Secretary George W. Bush

"Fans of comic heroines like Stephanie Plum will find plenty to like in this sharp and funny satire."—Publishers Weekly

From the Publisher

After hard work, sexual harassment, challenges to her integrity, insane news injunctions (she can't say climate or yesterday on air), and years spent missing out on romance and key family events, journalist Natalie Savage finally gets assigned to cover the White House for her network, ATN. The bad news: it's just a test run to see if Natalie can cut it, and her competition, a callow young windbag famed for eating a pig's scrotum on reality TV, looks to be the favorite. A debut novel from the former chief White House correspondent for CNN, so she knows her stuff.
