Description

A shocking crime . . .An alleged cover up . . .A TV newsroom in turmoil . . . The investigation into a brutal crime plunges veteran newsman Dave Wilson into the biggest, and most personal, story of his career. Police are convinced they have the right suspect, and Dave agrees. His colleague, beautiful but na�ve TV news reporter Sarah Sanchez, thinks otherwise. She believes police are withholding facts, and may even be obstructing justice. With the approval of the station manager, and help from an anonymous source, she begins her own investigation. Sarah's probe into the crime uncovers new information, but Dave doesn't trust a word she's reporting. Furthermore, the use of an anonymous source hurts ratings and endangers newsroom jobs. Will Dave finally believe Sarah and her source when they present him with overwhelming evidence? What will happen to the news station's integrity and employees' careers as Sarah continues to pursue the story? Media Madness is more than a novel. It delivers behind-the-scenes insight into the world of television news as told through a journalist's eyes and TV news reports.
