Título: Savage News
Autor: Jessica Yellin
Sinopse: A fictional behind the scenes account of the challenges women face in the cable news industry written by the former chief White House correspondent for CNN. Katy Tur's Unbelievable meets The Devil Wears Prada and Campaign Widows in this fast-paced, entertaining debut novel about the (not so) glamorous cable news business by former Chief White House Correspondent for CNN Jessica Yellin. Savage News is a juicy roman a clef debut about a female cable news correspondent forced to navigate ratings wars, sexula harassment in the workplace, ridiculous news standards and an international diplomatic and political situation in the White House. Be noisy. Natalie Savage grew up having these words drilled into her by her father, who admired Walter Cronkite so much he named their dog after him. Natalie-who spent her twenties missing out on romance, friends' weddings, holidays with her family, and even her beloved father's last moments-has finally seen it all pay off when she's assigned to cover the White House for her network, ATN. The problem? The assignment is only temporary; a test run to see if Natalie has what it takes. Natalie has gotten to where she is by relying on her determination, her principles, and her news sense. Her competition for the position is a 26-year-old overgrown frat boy, Ryan McGreavy, who got his big television break by eating raw pig scrotum on a reality show. Of course, he's winning. Natalie and her scrappy and sometimes unscrupulous production team have to navigate sexual harassment in the workplace, increasingly rigorous (and ridiculous) news standards-including an injunction on saying words such as "climate," "education," and "yesterday" on air-and an international diplomatic and political situation at the White House involving the rape of a Venezuelan actress by the son of the President of Colombia. But the closer Natalie gets to landing her dream job, the more she is asked to compromise her integrity, her country and herself.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora MIRA costumam apresentar narrativas que transitam entre o suspense policial e o drama humano, construindo tramas onde segredos, investigações e relações pessoais se entrelaçam. A experiência de leitura frequentemente envolve personagens que enfrentam dilemas morais e desafios emocionais intensos, em cenários que vão desde cidades grandes até pequenas comunidades. O tom varia entre o tenso e o intimista, com ritmo que pode ser ágil em thrillers ou mais contemplativo em histórias de reconstrução pessoal. O catálogo sugere uma predileção por enredos que exploram a complexidade das relações humanas em meio a conflitos externos e internos.
