Erin van der Meer: Meer, E: Scoop, Fester Einband

Klappentext

A piercing satire about a journalist working the night shift at a tabloid and the explosive consequences of her "harmless" clickbait.

Washed-up New York journalist Frankie Miller is getting desperate. Since the twenty-nine-year-old lost her dream job at a glossy magazine three months ago, her days have been filled with overdue bills, cereal for dinner, and a flood of rejection emails (not to mention her ex has a new girlfriend). So when she's offered a job at The Scoop , a notorious tabloid website run by tyrannical editor-in-chief David Brown, she can't exactly afford to say no---even if it means swallowing her pride for clicks. Besides, for Frankie, it's just a paycheck, a temporary detour. It's not forever.

But the deeper she's pulled into the breakneck world of tabloid journalism, the blurrier the line between ambition and morality becomes---until she crosses it. When her reporting humiliates a beloved pop star and dredges up grief over her late mother, Frankie sets off a chain reaction that spirals beyond her control. In an industry where reputation is currency and outrage sells, how far is Frankie willing to go---and how much is she willing to lose---to win at this ruthless game?

Sharp, witty, and unflinchingly bold, The Scoop is a searing exploration of ambition, exploitation, and the human toll of the 24 / 7 news cycle.
